With a pitching rematch of last Sunday’s game between Elder and Teheran, the Braves looked to secure another series win over Milwaukee.
After Elder worked around a leadoff single for a scoreless inning, Ronald Acuna did Ronald Acuna things to lead off the bottom of the first, with a first pitch flare single and his 50th stolen base to take second. He ran through a stop sign to score on an Ozzie single, for the first run of the game. Singles from Austin Riley and Matt Olson followed Ozzie and brought the diminutive second baseman home. Travis d’Arnaud nearly hit a double of his own, but Sal Frelick (again) made a great diving catch (again), forcing Travis to settle for an RBI sac fly.
