The Braves on a 7 game heater faced the flailing Orioles, who were on a 16 game skid.
The top of the first looked promising for Atlanta, as they loaded the bases on singles from Soler, Freeman, and Riley, but ultimately ended in disappointment, with no runs. As is the tradition for frames following the other team failing to capitalize on a bases loaded opportunity, The Orioles scored in the bottom of the first on a Mountcastle homer.
After some scattered traffic on the bases for both teams in the second, Soler walked and Freddie was hit by a pitch with one out in the third.
