MLB LIVE🔴 Atlanta Braves vs Minnesota Twins - 27th August 2024 | MLB Full Game - MLB 24

just about ready to roll here and pitching in this game number 60 and singy we were talking earlier about how he's doing a great job navigating through tough spots I've just been so impressed with when it seems like there's more pressure he's more calm and settles in he's done an incredible job with runners in scoring position most guys they get a little tight they start to aim the baseball but for some reason he gets looser the ball comes out of his with more life and he's able to wiggle off the hook of you know tough situations and get his team back in the Dugout next offering upstairs [Music] 2 Bunting and it's in the air throw on to Santana and The Bu doesn't work out here's the Atlanta Braves lineup the Sluggers in this lineup might not be too happy about the fact that the wind is blowing in today Chris yeah and you hear pitchers talk about how good it feels when the wind is at their back and for hitters you almost feel feel like Beyond just the pitcher coming at you you got this other Force coming against you so important to try to get on top of the ball in terms of hitting line drives you know maybe really hard ground balls with a good exit velocity that'll get you a base hit because it's very frustrating you just hit one on the screws think it's going to go out of the ballpark and a guy is camped underneath it in front of the warning track got the back going too soon it's strike two no ball two stries [Music] foul still two man he'd like to have that pitch back got him looking that's a strike out here's Marcel Zuna what a season it's been for him he has supplied a lot of power and that aage and takes low for ball one Ozuna goes 6' one 33 years old and he's usually in the Outfield today he's the DH out of the you know people realize theg to the and if you're Oak it's get out for to be a to the dday that is really two and he walked think here's Matt ol that one LIF to left no trouble here puts it away for the and that is that one left for atanta the twins coming up no score it's Major League Baseball on the back at Target Field and on the hill Max fre what should we keep an eye on here a guy not to see a lot of flare and Flash but he's going to over thep at some point you able it l it's and a pitch wouldn't chase that time that pitch not even close a two count now he can't be over agressive got to make sure that pitch is right on a for him Mar go swings through that one balls one strike not even close and a full back to the hit they that was a shot he took as down on KN clearly but will not want to come out of this if he doesn't try and continue here's Roy Lewis free checks over to First and he's back Mar runs foul ball there Mar on at first nobody goes again pitch for a strike tag Dar great throw usually when you see a team try to steal a base in the early Innings it tells you they want to be AGG off try toce the defense to and that's what they'll that ches the offensive approach moving forward this one popped up settles under it pulls it down and he makes the catch and there's two down now the lineup for the twins as constructed by rockol Bal Deli not a team that usually sees a lot of pitches or Works a ton of walks Chris they take a more aggressive approach than some of the other teams in the league they definitely have a few free swingers in this lineup you know guys who want to be on the attack and that's great as long as you got pitches in the zone but if the pitcher's able to expand the Zone can be very difficult for an offense like this to get going you've got to somehow draw some walks put some Runners on base so that when you have those free swingers come up you can cash in with some runs that are [Music] plated two outs count one and two and a swing and a miss and that's that so nothing in the Minnesota first on to the second from Target Field no score here on the show and welcome back to the ballark all set for the start of the Inn here's the catcher Travis and a pitch and that's in dir that's out to center field Martin has it sized up makes the grab one down the right number Lano comes up the hit seems like he's making contact with everything lately batting over 300 so this pitch doesn't the Z that two fast is usually coupled with a slider away and when a hitter's conscious of the pitch in it's hard for him to cover middle away and that's where a pitcher can really finish off that batter no and that's outside and it's two and Joe McDonald umpire behind the dish yeah boo Joey Mack sometimes a little tough to figure out we may see some hitters and pitchers asking him where a pitch was here there but most of the time he keeps it reasonable right through there for a strike how much were you aware of the Umpire Scouting Report or even who was going to be umpiring not a whole lot I mean there were a couple of umpires that weren't real good but outside of that you just kind of went into the game especially back when I was playing [Music] SL a here let [Music] [Applause] score one that one [Applause] missed the Braves go down quietly go to the bottom of the second no score and we're back and here's the first Carlos S as he turns on the rubber with that good live arm deliv late with the swing there that is the top part of the zone that is strike [Applause] two and that's outside fight off you'll see another k a swing and a up one Downer incist offensively just missed the pitch tapped out front of the plate throw on to ol already two out here in the half of Inn number two is Willie Castro not getting the results he's wanted at the rec barely H over the Mendoza Line thisth close one doesn't get the call and that's ball one in the to left the line Kell right there to make the grab and that is that we'll move to the third with no score well here we go top of the third scoreless game so now to the plate for Atlanta Gio Ella the right hander back to work s and a miss it's one the key to his success is early in the count he cannot AF to deeps doesn't a [Applause] swing swing a one in theque throws and beats for the first after the third strike take at the pitch sequence here Prett simple in terms of the head2 as a can exp Z and that be toatt and right clearly he was in swing mode but all you can do is hope to foul that off here's Orlando Aria now finds the corner and that is strike one one out Bas is EMP that misses and now it's even one and one bounce to the right Lewis throws to first play is made two out back to the top of the lineup with marfield up to the plate 0 for one so far pitch and he just misses and that's it for a strike top of the third no score just off the outside edge and that's ball and another ball swings through that one [Music] outside and that is ball four that's a great lot of and side of it now thees up with a [Applause] swingfields off first two the Inn swing and a ground B out to short Zs it to First that ends the frame bra strand one and we are still scoreless ready to go for the last half of the inn and now the Twins catcher Christian Vasquez and the pitch right through there for a strike and the pitch that one fouled off next offering upstairs that's a really lay the2 highes first lead off man retired here in the third and now Matt put that 600 slug into the Le usually in the low 400s that's in there strike one Shar [Music] man soing in Austin Martin might not describe as having Elite level speed but he can abely and it is a in his this guy's definitely a runner but what i' love about him is that he goes all out every single time never takes a break guys like that even though they don't have the Elite Speed the that they're consistent with it they moves on the B throw to third not in he's well that started and endly he started that for the back to the lead off spot the twins L up Manel Mar go up to the plate golden opportunity right here just missed [Applause] right through there for a strike and third [Applause] one swings through that high fast and a swing and a miss huge strike out there certainly a strike out situation right there the infield playing back so up next for Minnesota Royce Lewis out his first for a strike two on two outs heit is in here's he's outn one

and a Popa makes the play in it's out number three nothing across here this half we're headed to the fifth it's the twins W and the Braves nothing and welcome back to the ballark new inning getting started now in for the Braves lanan here comes a pitch one L you know these Braves to put it bluntly need to put together more competitive at bats and I don't think they've lived up to their own expectations at the plate strikeouts are a little easier to stomach in baseball today but even by those standards they're going down way too often and I think they're having a hard any momentum going as a result the to the pitch big swing a miss the line of the pitch a and stays alive the right deals up the middle a dive to his knee the throw it's there and that's a great here's Jared Kellick went down on strikes his first time line and a base hit right so they get a man aard with a one out single long to get for that at that's a good s coming off theat and as he connected out RI into thei that's one of those swings where you just don't even feel the ball hit the barrel that's a pure stroke run on at first with one gone giorella steps in he's over one that's hard hit in the line no trouble here it away for the here's the at the Orlando AR grounded out his first slider catches Z this got a great break that's in for a strike on the corner and it's and [Applause] two outs and a rope into center field Bas hit throw stops the lead Runner and out awing out of we saw the the teames theer and going to a pitch change in this spot number and that's an excellent from the in him arm
