After a slugfest of a loss Friday, the Braves were looking to level the series and snap the Reds’ winning streak behind Jared Shuster. It was a pitching matchup that screamed “high-scoring game”.
The first inning saw a single baserunner for each team but no runs allowed, as Ozzie reached on catchers’ interference and Kevin Newman led off the Reds’ half with a single. The second inning saw a little more of what we expected, however, as Travis d’Arnaud led off the top of the inning with a bit of a shallow solo homer, followed by an Eddie Rosario single that saw him stranded.
