What looked like was going to be a fairly uneventful loss Wednesday night at Truist Park, turned into a thrilling, ninth-inning comeback victory as the Braves break the Giants hearts in a 4-3 win.
Somewhat lost in the late inning heroics was just how good of a pitching duel this game was for the first seven innings between Charlie Morton and Carlos Rodon.
Morton’s night started ominously enough, giving up a first-inning solo home run to Giants’ outfielder Mike Yastremski and giving San Fransisco an early 1-0 lead. Give Morton credit though, he settled in nicely, giving up only one other solo home run in the fourth inning to catcher Darin Ruf and nothing else.
