The Braves got off to a torrid start this afternoon after a Freddie Freeman double was followed up by a Nick Markakis single to give Atlanta an early 1-0 lead.
Sean Newcomb was very sharp in his first inning of work striking out both Billy Hamilton and Jose Peraza in a clean inning of work.
The next batter up brought the story of the day as Ronald Acuña Jr. squared up a middle-middle slider for an absolute tank job to the second deck in left field putting Atlanta up 2-0.
