The story of the day coming into the game was the debut of the Braves’ top prospect Michael Harris. Despite the excitement, this was a tough matchup for Atlanta, with Tucker Davidson, who has not been good, facing off against the formidable Sandy Alcantara.
The early innings were mostly uneventful, with Davidson issuing a few walks, as has been a theme for him this season, but allowing no runs through three. Alcantara allowed one hit in each of the first two innings, and hit Acuna (apparently unintentionally) in the third, but also allowed no runs. Things unraveled a bit for Tucker in the fourth as he walked the first two batters and eventually allowed a run to come around on a sac fly.
