ATLANTA (AP) — Tucker Davidson’s day started like a movie and ended in reality.
His journey from World Series viewer to pitcher resulted in neither stardom nor shame. Davidson looked like the inexperienced rookie he is, struggling to throw strikes.
Five days after he watched the Series opener from a hotel in the Atlanta suburbs, the 25-year-old Braves left-hander allowed four runs and got six outs in Game 5 against the Houston Astros on Sunday night.
Given a 4-0 lead by Adam Duvall’s first-inning grand slam, he gave up Alex Bregman’s RBI double and Martín Maldonado’s sacrifice fly in the second.
