After a 7-2 win driven by an explosive eighth inning from the offense on Friday, the Braves had their work cut out for them facing Aaron Nola, with Jake Odorizzi on the mound.
We expected dominance from Nola, but we did not expect three perfect innings from Odorizzi to start the game. Nola only allowed a d’Arnaud double through the first two innings, but the newly reunited dynamic duo of Ozzie Albies and Ronald Acuna got to him in the third, as Ozzie drew a rare walk and Ronald blasted a monstrous opposite field homer to give the Braves a 2-0 lead.
