Braves vs. Giants Game Highlights (8/14/24) | MLB Highlights

exciting day for this group a lot of Smiles in that Clubhouse the resilient wins as you talked about and then you get a player like Michael Harris back up in the lineup tonight the first time since June 14th when he suffered that hamstring injury he's excited to be back kind of feels like the first day of school uh feels like I haven't seen him in a while but it I just seen him last week but um yeah it's just been a while since I've been out there with them and I'm just excited to get back on the hill tonight for the Giants will be Robbie Ray a 10-year veteran making start number four he is completely built up and ready to go now he has a pretty good feel that you his body is capable of going into a long inning and pitching through it going deeper into ball games and he can maintain the consistency of the snap on its slider you know his lifetime record against the Braves one and three is not that great but when he's throwing good like he is right now I mean you'd throw him up against anybody and they're stacking up the randers against them the slider is going to be key and if he can establish that pitch early in the game I he can ride it all all night long I mean both of these guys right now right you have a grunter and Robbie Ray you have the big strong hacks of Jorge Solair this is man on man right now and seeing who can outow each other say Ray loses control of the slider and hits cair oh gosh he hit Riley as well that time it was the for seamer it was the breaking ball to salair so back-to- back hit by pitches to start this ball game and now the leading RBI man in the National League is coming up with two men on and nobody out strike three call right at the knees with the slider and Adam Beck is one of those uh I'm going to go into my very theatrical strike three call routine now and that misses as well so you've got AR now the right-handed hitter coming up with the Bas is loaded Reay has hit two batters and walked one he got all kinds of trouble the only batter who wasn't either walked or hit he struck out already going to be the 28th pitch of the first inning for Robbie Ray and he misses high and walks in a run well that was non-competitive from Robbie Ray I get a little bit concerned sometimes that Orlando's been opening up the Zone a little bit more he started chasing a little bit more but Robbie Ray did not even give him a chance to chase it that it wasn't close five batters in there has not been a ball put in play so here is the return of Michael Harris activated today from the 60-day injured list this ball is hit deep to right are you kidding me welcome back m Harris a grand slam into thec Cove it's confirmed we missed Michael Harris and what a way to come back and what an opportunity with the bases loaded left on left nonissue splash down Robbie Ray completely disoriented out there now a swinging strike three and he puts Lano away post haste boy Robbie Ray is just all out of sorts he's now at 39 pitches he's walked three he's hit two and he's given up a grand slam and that's going to be it he's done Bob Melvin is taking the former Sai Young Award winner out with two outs in the first inning and Grant Holmes steps onto the diamond with a five to nothing lead exactly how you'd like to have it as a starting pitcher this will be his fourth start I want don't you to take a note of that for team fastball data then there just a 127 batting average against that's the fourth lowest in all of Major League Bas full you have to throw at least 200 of those to be considered for the list but his fast Ball's just been incredible Giants have a lot of work to do as they bat in the bottom of the first start he down 5 nothing facing the right-hander grant Hall Fitzgerald doesn't waste any time as he lifts this one to left back is cair at the wall and it is out of here Tyler Fitzgerald hits the first pitch thrown by Holmes and it just barely made it over the left field wall and just beyond the grasp of Jorge Sol and the Giants get one of those runs back right now that's a way to let the other team know that they haven't cashed it in well Matt Olson makes all three plays in the bottom of the second and wouldn't you know it he leads off the third Matt Olson out to left field well struck is this one going to go yes it is solo shot the opposite way for Matt Olsen six to one Braves well that's a good sign CM Mt Olson Drive the ball the other way that is the first earned run by a Giants relever and over over 19 Innings so we knocked out the starter but we got to contend with a pretty decent Bullpen and that's a good way to do it back to- back strikeouts for Holmes here's Lamont Wade Jr a liner into left that's going to be a hit for Lamont one hop to Solair a two out base hit for the Giants brings up Elliot Ramos ground ball left side toward the hole over to backhanded AR a jump throw to Second and it's not handled cleanly by marfield stretching out to try to take it and so is safe and Ramos is going to have himself an infield hit here's a ground ball softly hit toward the middle marfield diving to his right has it and that for the moment will save a run but he has no chance to get anybody out the bases are loaded still a tough at bat here with Matt Chapman coming up but Brant Holmes Still Remains just one out away from getting out of this inning right field lorano back a couple of steps he will takeen three singles but the Giants leave him loaded Bailey's had some louder contact lately Holmes two two pitch catch it well that was softly hit that's the good news and Holmes is able to knock it down and make the play you got to do a lot more than that to hurt Grant holes he's tougher than a $3 stake as they say sometimes in Southern Indiana softly to second base one two three bottom of the fourth six to1 Atlanta the Giants have given up two hits in the game and they're down 6 to one that's it's not not impossible obviously but that's very hard to to give up two hits and have allowed six runs Austin Riley high in the air deep to left field Ramos at the wall he will watch it go solo shot for Riley make it seven to one Braves hitting some bombs here by the bay that is their third home run of the ball game and they only had three hits the entire night that's making him count right there now back to the top of the order this will be the first time we've seen Jared Kellick to the played in the ball game 7-1 Braves top of the sixth inning and celic right field that's trouble bouncing around of the corner florano scores Here Comes Wick marfield 9 to one Atlanta and celic sweeps the hand around into third base here's wisley giants still trailing nine to one but maybe a little small something that can come out of this game here's a base hit into right field wisely pulled it on through Bailey's going to turn third and head home and he'll make it there without a throw wisley gets the RBI single and it's 9-2 WIS ley's first hit of the night swing and a miss six strikeouts tonight for Grant Holmes as he gets through seven Innings with the Braves up seven to Shawn Murphy Murphy has walked ground to the third and flly out to L deep to left see you later Shan Murphy two run Homer and Atlanta is in double digits it's 11-2 and the Giants have sent out right fielder Mike yriy to pitch What if Michael goes deep with his second grand slam of the ball game wouldn't that be something in the first inning and the ninth inning no no Grand Slam there he is going to bring home Marcelo Zuna though to make it 12 to2 laurano line it to left I think that bounced yes and the Braves are going to score Another One RBI single by laurano and it's 13- two Braves and there are two outs in the bottom of the nin this should do it Riley over and the Braves win after a couple of nail biters in games one and two of the series it's a blowout in game three 13-2 is the final
