Coming off of an exhilarating walk-off win against the Philadelphia Phillies on Opening Day, Mike Foltynewicz and the Atlanta Braves took on Nick Pivetta and the Fightin’ Phills in game 2 of the 2018 season.
Folty was unable to go deep into the game as he was pulled after 5 innings of work because of pitch count. He had the strikeout pitch working as he collected 7 K’s and only allowed one walk in 5 innings, but threw 92 pitches.
“There’s a couple pitches I wish I could have had back…but at the same time, they were solo shots,” Foltynewicz said referring to the solo home runs by Rhys Hoskins and Carlos Santana.
