This one looked like it was gonna be a mess by the fifth inning, I gotta say. TheRealRamona noped out around then, and I envied her at the time. But holy crap, our offense showed up, albeit later than one might have hoped, and closed the gap. So.
Humberto Castellanos, our starter tonight, actually looked sharp in the first inning, when he set the top of the Braves’ lineup down in order. He was throwing hard, his fastballs clocking around 93-94 mph, and he looked like he was doing the business. Meanwhile, in the bottom of the first, Atlanta’s starter, Charlie Morton, plunked Daulton Varsho to put our leadoff hitter on, and then surrendered this bomb to Christian Walker, who as much as it pains me to say I’m beginning to like again.
