The Braves and their high-powered offense found themselves in unfamiliar 2020 territory on Saturday evening as a pitching dueling between Braves rookie stud Ian Anderson and the Nationals’ Patrick Corbin. Ian was absolutely dominant and some timely RBIs from Marcell Ozuna and Ozzie Albies were enough for the Braves to squeak out a 2-1 win over the defending champs.
While the initial storyline that dominated the interwebs was that Ronald Acuna Jr. was indeed back in the lineup after an injury scare on Friday evening, Saturday evening belonged to Ian Anderson who was superb in allowing one hit and putting up some much needed innings for the Braves.
