The Braves waited until the bottom of the ninth to record their first hit of the afternoon as Drew Smyly and co. were trounced by the Pirates by the score of 10-1. For once, we were thankful this one wasn’t televised.
It was not an easy start for Drew Smyly in the first inning as he found himself with runners on the corners with two outs after a couple hits. Fortunately, he was able to escape before any damage was done thanks to a trio of strikeouts in the first inning. The second inning would start with a walk and a hit which resulted in two runners in scoring position with no one out.
