The Braves pitched Dylan Dodd, looking for a series win and needing innings out of the rookie.
Dodd got through the first with only a deep flyout from Bryan Reynolds for threats. The bottom of the first got spicy, as Oviedo threw well inside to Ronald Acuna, who displayed his displeasure at this, which drew an aggressive reaction from Oviedo. The benches cleared and warnings were issued before play resumed and Ronald walked, before being thrown out trying to steal second.
