MLB LIVE🔴 Atlanta Braves vs Washington Nationals - 11th September 2024 | MLB Full Game - MLB 24

all right just about set to go and today's starter McKenzie Gore 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 and he's done an incredible job with runners in scoring position they get a little tight they start to aim thease but for some reason he gets looser the B 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 Michael Harris in the now no balls in a strike the pitch next offering misses down and away one one third [Applause] Ricky out to ABS on to First here's the Atlanta Braves lineup one guy leading the way offensively for this club right now or Aria you know Bo he really makes the out of his leading the team in Ste on Bas percentage and you know you got sometimes a guy that can run really well but he doesn't get on base enough to utilize that potential as soon as this guy gets on first he's thinking about second and then third he's got the wheels to make that kind of stuff happen and really disrupt the ball game I love watching guys like him who just make stuff happen in the lineup at the belt and fires right side hard hit gets it to First and a couple of quick outs thir the marel here's Marcel Ozuna looking for his first big league hit right here Now One Missed counts one and0 and a big swing and a miss look prly check swing he held up now two balls in a strike backed off the plate that time straighten him up a little bit swing and a miss and it's a full count knows two outs and there's a rocket theel league and this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget congrats yeah great moment for him and his family a guy works so hard and has to wait so long for this to happen and when it does can kind of be overwhelming you still have toay on the game but it's great when you could take a minute to just appreciate what you've done and how hard you work to get here Matt Olen up to the pl trying to pick up his first knock in the big leagues outside low one and the pinch inside ball he never moved because he never had time to but that kind of velocity you'd prefer that pitcher work away and now the Lefty swing and a popup foul territory for the catcher Ruiz makes the grab and that'll end the inning one left for Atlanta and now the Nets get their first opportunity there's no score Major League Baseball is on the show back in Washington DC and on the now Charlie Morton singing he's kind of a road warrior yeah I definitely say so you know some guys shrink a little the road soed to having the comfort of being at home and having the fans behind this guy seems to thrive in adversity and being in some hostile environment so when you have a player like this on your team that goes out and you defitely like your away from your home and that one fou off now the way out front for strike two can live up in the zone all game will chase it that's just too much velocity hitters got to look down in the zone misses the count and another B it's a good take and down on strikes one down and that's the first strike out of his major lead career could many want to Domin at this level do you think Young pitchers can sometimes get too caught up in try to rack up G early in their career I think they can it's kind of like a hitter that doesn't have power The Thrill is still hitting a ball over the fence and so for a guy he do have power stuff or strike out stuff a strike out is still something that makes him stick his chest out a little bit further that to right sizes this one up and there are two outs here's Dave Martinez line up for the Nationals not a whole lot going their way offensively the last few games Chris yeah Bo and that can put more pressure on the pitching staff to try to limit the opponent to just one or two runs a game knowing that their offense is not scoring right now and that never really works well because you try to be too fine and you end up giving up a lot of runs so we'll see if everybody can just relax bring things together and perform at a level that they're capable of and a pitch up and in one and one fast for a strike one ball two strikes two out EMP and that one a little below the knees and the counts even two really close pitch down around the knees and you could see him asking where ited probably doesn't agree appears ready to move on to the next pitch kick and that one upstairs swings and misses and good work there as he gets a one two three nothing doing for Washington we played an inning no score back here in Nationals Park all set for the start of the inning so now to the plate for Atlanta Ron laano Gore back to work hamers that one deep left field and forget it he circles the bases his first Homer of the year it's one nothing he only needed one swing to square it up not wasting any time in that at bive and it PA off it throws a pretty hard slider but when it doesn't break like a good fast to hit and right there eyes got big hit that really hard and now he's getting highes in the dug so here's Murphy now first pitch just misses always exciting to see a late off home run and an inning kind of gets the off fired up and you start to expect a big inning and he deals just off the outside edge and the count is two and0 Daryl Parker assigned to umpiring Duty behind home plate and Bo with DP it's sort of a coin flip on those borderline Corner pitches doesn't really favor one side of the play more than the other sometimes you get a little extra the plate and sometimes you won't it does seem like he evens it out over the of the game though behind with that swing [Applause] strike a nobody on nobody out with a of the second get Ace and stays alive two swing when you to thr your AC stri Z espe two stries you want to miss off the plate in you do not want to leave it out over the heart of the plate so that was excellent execution on that pitch really tied him up and he couldn't get a piece at all here's giella that one inside B one Ella getting to started third hitting seven in today's line and he's a native of colia one out Bas is empty fast for a strike backto back fasts in that last one called for a strike probably go away but for to come back there to try to finish you off swings clearly on justult now he's batt two strikes misses it's a strike out really went aggressive in with that slider strike pitch right there at worst case scenario it's weak contact in play exactly where he and the catcher wanted it here's Orlando Aria foul ball gets a piece there we'll do it again nobody on fights that one away and the count remains and two also really good like about this guy his stays in the zone for a long time gives him the ability to foul off pitches andall one one two now this one popped up foul ground first Bas side Gallow grabs It on the Run they're off to a good start as they pick up a run on this solo shot it's now one- nothing you're dialed into the show and welcome back to the ball now it's the rookie DH Andre chaparo pitch there and the rander deals into Center makes a nice a catch and there's one down Jose tenna for the Nationals a good fast to start him off that's strike one that's a little bit low home team down a r bottom half of inning number two that's outside now two and almost got him one down base is EMP on the ground of first the and now it's Luis Garcia first pitch misses right through there for a strike two outs outside corner there's a strike and there's a ball two balls two strikes swings misses struck out three up three down for Washington they're down one back in Washington DC here's the second Luke Williams Gore back to work wouldn't Chas that time the one Corner oneall [Applause] one the it Gallow number one back to the lead off spot in the Braves lineup Michael Harris next up for the Braves and there's one thing on his mind getting that first hit at the big league level and a foul ball one down base is empty close one doesn't get the call and the count is one and one and that's downstairs and outside next offering upstairs swing and a miss 91 on the SL right there that's a hard one that's a low fast for some Pitch outside and that is ball four Bo do you think you could draw Walk In The Bigs if we gave you enough atat oh that's a good question um I think that if they gave the pitcher a false scouting report on me yes I think I could draw one one and that one gets the catcher so wild pitch allows the run to advance here oneone and that one is lifted in the azing one UPS it in for [Applause] the and next is the designated hitter Marcel Zuna one for one with the so far this guy makes great contact one of the best in the game at putting Bat on Ball he's got such quick hands and he's gaining pitch recogn that keeps him Square to the plate there's a good chance that his stays in the zone a long time and that produces solid contact consistently fall off foul Harris at second with two down next offering isy if swing it here comes a pitch that's Matt ol in the on Circle and he walked [Applause] him I don't think hech and be thean Matt fors a corner two outs couple of base runners at first ands that one [Music] foul field2 and that's too high that one hit to right under it makes the and that's out number three two left for Atlanta they lead it one nothing and we're back as we go to the last of the third here's the rookie rightel Dyan Cruz the line of the pitch just missed outside Miss inside and that'sall if Hees there's the [Music] automatic face hit Dylan Cruz his first Le and is a I'm he'll great and his familys and it of be overwhel still have to locked on theame it's great when you can take a minute toate what You' done and how hard you to get here here's Joey Gallow missed with a change up and it's w to the pitch tying is it first here in the last half of the third to throw over and he's back in safely a it's two and two the two strikes some over first try to the and the pitch sharp that's [Applause] H Joey leag and this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget congrats yeah great moment for family a guy works so hard and has to wait so for this when it of be overwheling you still have to stay locked in on the game but it's great when you can take a minute to just appreciate what you've

really the with that arm actions offal there throw to first Rush he got and he got it in get out seconde back to the line here CJ AB to H he was a strike vitim his first and that's nowes lead CJ League hit and this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget congrats great moment and his family a guy works so hard and has to wait so for this toen and when it do kind of be overwheling you still have to stay locked in on the game but it's great when you can take a minute to just appreciate what you've done and how hard you work to get [Applause] here and now for Washington James Wood F to right his first foul ball there still only one out here in the Inn splits the pl and count is and two this in the center field Parris has a beat on it makes the catch two down and now it's kebert Ruiz here's the pitch run on the there's a ball throw that's aenas sometimes Ste they didn't do a very good job that a comfortable lead got a great and that's how you steal third base and that's in for a strike two outs and one in scoring position swing and a miss and the count is one and two that's from third it's 31 so he gets two milest with that hit his first big leag KN and he drives in his first as yeah you love to get both of those out of the way with just one swing of the bat and it makes the special moment even more special it's not just an individual accomplishment when you're also driving in a run for your team that's an it bad he's never going to forget andrees chaparo digging in for the Nationals he's over one and that one fouled off go Chris through the early stages he hasn't been very efficient in terms of the pitch count he's going to need to get some quick outs if he's going to get deeper into this game two outs up and in and the count even one one it is interes though when you consider the way theame doesn't even matter that much if your starter doesn't go that deep because teams are really aggressively building their bullpens and that's off the Inside Edge two and one Ruiz off of first with two away got him looking third out that ends the frame three runs for him here and they move ahead on to inning number four it's the Nationals three and the Braves one back after put a nice on some runs AC this is where you look for the starter to go out there shut Inn don't team any just hope he can get through this get theats back up there while they're Swang and a ground ball the middle that's a base hit so man on to start the [Applause] Inn here's Shawn Murphy he struck out swinging at his first the corner it's one you know these Braves do a great job boo of just waiting for the right pitch to come their way and I'm seeing very patient bats out of him he's only given up one run but the starter pitch count is starting to get up there and that might be the best news yet for this offense and here comes one and one swing and a ball popped up Gallow in position and there's one down you know sometimes all it takes struck out swinging his first time z a of first pitch strikes usually doesn't out for success take baseball up in he gets out of the the Braves trailing by two top half of inning number four on the ground might be two to Second abs and that's two one hit no errors and no one left and Midway in the fourth it's the Nationals three and the Braves one Jose tenna ready to hit the right hander back to work high in the out to right Solair makes the grab one away almost a loud start to the Inning on that first pitch man he's going to want that one back no doubt up now for Washington Luis Garcia went down on strikes his first time through that one close rule to ball ball one one away in the bottom of the next offering is downstairs field man with one away Lu Garcia with his first major league hit and this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget congrats yeah great moment for him and his family a guy works so hard and has to wait so long for this to happen and when it does can kind of be overwhelming boo you still have to stay locked in on the game but it's great when you can take a minute to just appreciate what you've done and how hard you worked to get here next to the Nets Dylan Cruz singled and scored his first time fouled off he was late the pitch on the ground a second might be two over to Aria that's one and that's two one hit in the inning but no one left on to the top of the fifth we go it's the Nationals three and the Braves one and now the short stop Orlando arcia first time up was a pop out Aria measures even 29 years old and he was born in Venezuela that one fouled off you know these Braves toing theity ofic their swings justra hit they haven't exact the to Gap out of that makes it TOs [Applause] at the belt fires swing and a ball lifted to CER field the grab [Applause] one now it's the second Luke Williams for one he grounded out in his first strike one and one one down base is empty swings thr it and that's a strike down that looked like a Prett good swing and I wasting to get Hamed somewhere just Som missed it timing looked solid and his bance was there he wasn't out on the fo pitch to H but came up with so tell you what that's not a good feeling at all so the lineup flips over and stepping in is the Speedy Michael Harris one catches the Z St he's been going after these guys consistently and as a result he's been able to keep his pitch count low throwing the ball very well right now kicks and fires hit and that extends the Inn Michael Harris with his first major league hit and this is a moment I'm sure he'll never forget congrats yeah great moment for him and his family a guy works so hard and has to wait so long for this to happen and when it does can kind of be overwhelming you still have toay loed in on the game but it's great when you could take a minute to just appreciate what you've done and how hard you worked to get here two outs runner at first and now it's going to be Jorge Solair for a strike two outs in there at the knees and the count is and two you can't really adjust your game it misses that's a strike out couldn't hit the at the knees so one hit is all they get home half of the fifth coming up it's the Nationals three and the Braves one and now it's Joey he's already singled in this game as he turns on the rubber with that good live arm delivers NOP and downstairs and now two and nothing swinging a Miss he was late I think he was sitting off speed there next pitch is outside he hasn't behind the like walk his first right here a little out front there as he swings through it count three and two to kick the pitch fouled off again and remains three and two payoff pitch swings through that one it's a strike out throw pitch count goed the here's the cerel sing you got appreciate a guy who's good defensively I mean watching him tracks the out it is beautiful through there for a strike he's so solid calms the heart rate of the pitcher and the manager when the ball goes up in the air and you just automatically assume that it's an out every time it's hit in the air next offering is fouled back there's one guy I can think about Bo who started as a third baseman Alex Gordon and then became an elite perennial gold Glover out in left field for the Kansas City Royals but he's a guy when you watch him play you would imagine that that's all he ever played in his life was the Outfield wow that's a tough call for the hitter but the pitcher will take that all day long not quite in the strike zone but he found a spot that the Umpire is going to at least for now allow him to get that call so HS are going to have to adjustment but pitchers are going to learn from those things and really try to exploit them if they can Here Comes the1 B that's outside two down nobody on last half of inning number five and one two short stop takes the ball yeah some guys just have instincts right I mean that's the way it goes we talk about Larry Walker the Hall of Famer and Instinct play of as Aid the inn and the Nationals gone in order as the lead remains 31 he's got the power greats one of the best in the remember Mar was a real good defensive out good instincts not great speed first pitch not close yeah and I figured you would get into this because you had free dinner at his house the other night that is true and another ball that one misses and it's three and0 and that's ball four ball four oh you know to swing patience second here is Matt ol immediately PS a strike to the left [Music] jacobz that one is absolutely that's back there and brings it in at the [Applause] wall here's raon laano he's already hom here in this one definitely wants to stay out of the dou play hereall on the ground in thei out FR and foul to the left side [Applause] ler you youve right but in this ofe not everything is in your now it's the Atlanta catcher sha Murphy thats the Z strike one slice the other way and foul and now the Lefty out so no runs no hits no errors and one left two up in the half of the it's the Nationals and the Braves and now up for Washington James Wood and the pitch that's in for a strike movement in the Atlanta Bullpen Spencer schwellenbach appears to be getting loose Lee getting loose as well Fly ball center field got it nice grab and there's one away rbert Ruiz digging in for the Nationals one for two and first offering is off empty one away here in the bottom of the that one at the knees for a strike this guy's got a great feel for his breaking B today in the air right field takes it in for the maybe caugh that one off the end just a little bit couldn't quite Barrel it up enough to really drive it two out Bas is empty and now andrees chaparro and it's fou away and a ground ball to first he takes it himself to the bag and that'll do it nothing doing for Washington but they still lead it 3-1 giella to the play Third as the Lefty gets to work and that one sliced [Applause] foul and the pitch not even close there and it's one and one tap softly to the right side GS and throws to First the lead off set down to open the seven here's the short stop at the play Orlando Aria gets the corner for a St it's because of that curve that'ss Braves half of inning number seven that one blasted deep to right that's and it's a one hopper offes and he's got it Orlando with his first League hit and is moment he'll never forget congrats yeah great moment for and his family a guy works so hard and has to wait so for this to and when itel you locked it's when youate You' and how hard you work to get here it appears Dave Martinez is ready to dive into his Bullpen as he comes out of the Dugout to make the change McKenzie Gore will depart two run ball game as he heads for The Dugout and we'll be back with a new pitcher now a right-handed arm out of the bullpen Jacob bares on for his major league debut and a moment he will never forget better believe that it's always so special the first time you get into a big league ball game I did it as a position player but for him as a pitcher sure there's some nerves there probably don't want to squeeze the baseball too tight just relax and do what you're capable of doing the batter down Luke Williams that misses and that's ball one tying run at the plate and that one fouled off slider misses outside tying run at the plate that's Michael Harris next to bat for the [Applause] Braves ly us the enre field just so the bat turns over Michael Harris the next to hit out to short ABS sends it to First and that is the Inn strand one SCS it's [Applause] 31 Spencer schwen League yeah you're already going to be a little nervous out there so I think it's a nice job by the skipper to get him in here without any added pressure on the basis the pitch tner in the Box again takes a strike that gets the ins corner and it's and two and the righty deals ah that hit him and the lead off man is AB board to start the inning there always seems to be that R takes off swing a [Applause] has behind the pl it's a pretty big deal when you canp AAG against this dudev teams and that one is inside ball one pull down the line this one hammer it's [Applause] foul it's up for Washington Dyan Cruz and that's a strike next offering is in for a strike all right now he may have not lik either of those first two pitches or agreed with the Umpire calls but at this Point's going to be ready to hit close to the Z one count one and one out and a at High Fly ball right field sizes he's got itag up third saely two Joey Joey Gallow steps to the pl just off the outside edge ball one Gallow swings and drives one deep right field going back PS it in on the warning [Applause] track so it's no runs no base hits no errors and one left on base eighth inning coming up it's the Nationals three and the Braves onege Solair up at the pl for three a fly out of ground out to strike out Barnes back to work left field the there's one down just that Inay if he do that he's going to be able to go up the middle the other way with someth instead of a fly out to left now Z brixie on for his major league debut so we'll see if he's ready for the big stage he just has to remember this is the same game that he's played all the way through the minor leagues to this point the only difference there just more people in the stands and it's a bigger Stadium but the game itself is still the same look at the catcher whatever fingers he puts down that's what you throw and just let him Lead You In This one Ozuna the next to hit takes ball [Music] one that one finds the Zone that's strike one pitching has been pretty dominant in this but you got to be careful not working with too big a lead they can get right back in this B game if you're not careful on the ground sliding throw first and they an you [Applause] two out is empty digging in Matt ol first offering and misses two down nobody on and we're in the top of the two outs two balls one strike and a foul ball in the pitch a swing and a as he him down one two three and the Braves go down
