The Atlanta Braves lost a close matchup to the Los Angeles Dodgers, 4-3, in eleven innings on Friday night to open the series between the two NL pennant contend
ers.The Braves veteran wasn’t daunted by having to face the imposing top of LA’s lineup of Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, and Freddie Freeman. Morton held the trio to a 1-8 night, with a Freeman first-inning base hit and a third-inning Ohtani walk the only times those three got on base against him. He capped his outing off in style, going three up and three down against them in the 5th, getting a groundout and two strikeouts .
Significantly to me, that homer came off of an elevated fastball - Ronald’s struggled against heaters this season, batting only .129 off of fastballs this season after hitting .305 against them in his 2023 MVP season. Atlanta scored a run in the top of the 10th on two consecutive sacrifice flies to left field which advanced and then scored pinch-runner Luke Williams, in for Travis d’Arnaud.
