After both teams scratched out meager runs in yesterday’s pitching duel, the Atlanta Braves and San Francisco Giants took turns punching each other in the face and burning donuts around the diamond for 9 innings on Tuesday night.
The score was already 7-6 Atlanta after four innings. The runs would keep coming.
Both starters—a young, mustachioed, fastball-throwing-apparently-vegan Spencer Strider and the stoic and shaven Anthony DeSclafani in his first game since April 21st—were pulled early. Neither saw their way through the fourth, nor did they figure in the final results of the see-sawing offensive affair.
