On Thursday the Atlanta Braves looked favorites to take another series but Friday things started to go south. Mike Soroka resumed his seat on the DL, replaced on the roster by outfielder Danny Santana; presumably because Santana looked like a hot bat at Gwinnett.
The baseball gods snickered and gave the Braves a 15-inning, all-hands-on-deck heartbreaking loss with Arodys Vizcaino mysteriously absent from the bullpen. After the game, we learned that Vizzy had a cortisone shot Thursday on a shoulder that’s been bothering him all year. All year. . . alrighty then.
