The Braves used 20 baserunners and Matt Wisler’s great start to cut down the Padres again.
If you watched the game last night and then tuned in to tonight’s game, you may have felt a little deja vu. For the second straight night, the Braves got 12 hits. For the second straight night, an Atlanta starter shut down the Padres. For the second straight night, the Braves cruised to a victory. (For the second straight night, Oswaldo Arcia hit a home run.)
There were two main stories in this game. One was that the Braves scored eight runs on 12 hits, seven walks, and a hit by pitch, throwing together a mix of fruitful and frustrating innings but leading all the way.
