Well, the Braves 2021 playoff adventure has begun, and it started...sub-optimally. Earlier in the day, the Braves announced the roster, with some mild surprises, but nothing ground-shattering. Richard Rodriguez and Chris Martin were excluded, while Dylan Lee and Terrance Gore just made the cut. Spencer Strider and Cristian Pache were left off.
As for the game itself, the Braves lost a pitching duel between Corbin Burnes and Charlie Morton 2-1, despite threatening to tie it late. Charlie Morton kept the Brewers scoreless through six innings, but a hit batter and a subsequent home run in the seventh gave the Brewers the only two runs they got in the game, but also the only runs they would need.
