Cards' Mikolas off to cool start in 'Hot-Lanta'

He walked both Ronald Acuna Jr., and Ozzie Alibies but catcher Yadier Molina took care of the first one by throwing out Acuna Jr., trying to steal second. With Albies running on a 3-2 count, Freddie Freeman poked a slider to left, sending Albies to third.

The Braves ran themselves into an out in the second after Brian McCann doubled to left center to open the frame. Dansby Swanson flied to short right and then, with one out, Keuchel curiously tried to sacrifice to third McCann, who ranks No. 568 out of 568 big-league league players in sprint speed.
