It’s the bottom of the seventh inning. Marlins are ahead 4-3 in Game 1 of the NLDS against the Atlanta Braves. Sandy Alcántara has thrown a good game proving once again his ace status. He begins the seventh allowing a single to Austin Riley, who’s batting ninth. Ronald Acuña Jr., who hit a leadoff home run, follows with another single that ends Alcántara’s outing.
Manager Don Mattingly comes from the dugout and brings in the best reliever he’s got. Dominican Yimi García was lights out for the Marlins in the regular season and is now the chosen one to put an end to the Braves’ threat.
