first pitch coming at you right after the break so just about set now and on the now number 6 base runners are tough to come by with him out there Chris well he brings this one an excellent strike out to walk ratio on the season and when you consider the amount of swings and misses that he gets and the fact that he's not issuing free passes that's going to make him more econom pitch count allow him to move into the middle and deeper part ofall games so we'll see if that remains true in this one Whitfield the lead off batter as he looks at ball one kicks and fires F attempt popped up nice grab on the run one away here's the Atlanta Braves line one guy leading the way offensively for this club right now Marcel Zuna and he's their team leader in home run so you know the pitchers on that other side man they took a lot of time preparing for him in that pregame meeting you know he's got a lot of pop and it's real pop it's not fluky at all he can absolutely change the outl of a game very quickly so watch out when he steps in jge Solair stands in now and watches strike one one out base is empty right through there for a strike I understand you want to try to GA that guy's fast but you also have to be aggressive and ready to hit in your zone now you're in a tough spot that missed by a lot and it's one and two I don't think he was trying to miss by that much in an 02 count just tried to overthrow that outside this is off the pl and now three and two well I think he's trying to get a feel for where that one missed I mean it could have gone either way but he looked a little shocked for a second there the pitch fouled off again remains three and two and that's ball now this was a story we were paying attention to before the game we've seen him give up walks in the it's issue again early oneel that upstairs ball one and that is ball one Solair leads off first with one away offing in there for a strike that's strike one rightand kicks ands here comes a pitch swing and a miss [Applause] out H will tell you that slider when a able toel pitch and late so to lay off because you made the decision you don't want to get beat by a fast and then you swing and you miss you go back to the Dugout shaking your head and now it's mat ol's to h z strike [Music] the pitch that one back up the middle and it gets through throw stops the lead runner at just shot it through thei and now it's Travis Dar with the good not great in the OBP department and the first offering is not close two outs right through there for a strike [Music] two on two outs the iny of first and that'll do it two left the twins coming up no score back here with my S on the hill Max and S we were talking earli about how he's doing a greated calm and sett he's done an Inc job with runners in scoring position a little tight they start to aim the but foron he geter thees out of his he to wiggle the hook of you know tough situations and get his team back in the Dugout Manuel marcoing things Tak a stri the wi to the pitch that misses the zone and now it's even one and one that one drifts inside with the swing there very difficult to catch up to especially with that velocity he's got to beated with that call wow that's a tough call for thech will take that all day not quite in the strike Z but he theast those things and try to explo them if they Le the comes up EMP with a swing there foul ball one down Bas is empty not close with that one it's a ball in two strikes O2 pitch that far out of the zone gives the hit a little confidence that maybe he can climb back into this at bat good eye in that spot it's a good [Music] take he did not the anytime you can punch out the top two guys in theine to start inning feeling PR good out the because you think of just having a distraction table on the and all of you're with the number you to serve up a and inad of it being AO shot it's a two or three run Homer here comes the1 and a foul ball first two hitters get punched out on strikes take some notes from The Dugout when you get your chance go there the ball hard somewhere that one way inside next pitch is outside and another ball the wi of the pitch and he walked him one of things about that two the run over first base is going to of it s Miranda leads off first two the Inn back back bre pitches away you get the feeling as a afraid of you that he doesn't want to challenge you so I think the confidence level is raised right here two and to here it comes late on that fast as a you got learn from thatch clearly wasn'ted on the a ready right through there for a strike drill out towards left field that's well struck and that one hops the wall around third the relay [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] thrower to the there's the swing in a miss1 there's a line drive to left field no trouble here puts it away for the out and that ends the inn and the Twins play one on the double it's an early one nothing lead you're watching Major League Baseball on the show and we're back the right hander back to work that's outside ball one and downstairs Joe McDonald doing the home PL duties here well Joe is an interesting one I'm always trying to figure out what exactly

been down clearly try to ground that one misses three and and a pitch a focus on the theree quick free pass so first and with one man here's orio and he swings and misses at the initial offering the last thing he wants is to hit the on the ground but I wouldn't swing and a miss and that one missed by a t a little aive early in the too [Applause] [Applause] spot so now you got to hope your

and a high fly ball to left Kel under it and it's caught for the out now theat here's Christian Vasquez this is a guy who's in the line of first and foremost because of what he contributes defensively Chris and when you talk about preventing runs from being scored this guy is a big contributor that one close rule the ball and it's w to know I was always told it's hard to take you off the field when you play really good defense especially at a premier position and that's what he does next offering is downstairs the H going to come around he's going to figure it out but right now his big asset is the way heed the game on defense one down base is empty fouls one off two and two right-handed relever got it by him for the K and he'll be beating himself up on the way back to the Dugout got a pitch to hit just couldn't get to it I think that slider really caught way more the plate than it was supposed to right side and that's the third out welcome back and a new arm of the mound to start the Trevor Richards well he's been a really tough guy to take deep this season you usually have to string some hits together in order to get to him now the lead for the Braves withfield the pitch this one popped up first side there's anded off's bupag RI right kick and that's in for a strike trying to hold a one lead and in the top of the right there for a strike clear that wasn't the pitch he was looking for at the plate either and now Marcel Zuna and that one is out of here he flees his power with that swing it's two he only needed one swing to sare it up not wasting any time in that at bat aggressive and it paid off with a low 9s fast you have to live on the edges and hit your spots if you don't hit hard really good swing there patient waited for it was like BP all over again and now Matt olon up to hit three pitch strike out last time up got to put up more of a fight in this one outside that is ball one Richards 30 years old now and they traded for him earlier this year back in fourth we go a seesaw battle in the late stages of this one that's in there one ball one strike that one lifted to left Maro settles under it makes the catch and that is that Braves draw even on the
