But that pinch hitter, former Cincinnati outfielder Adam Duvall, ripped a 96 mph Jack Flaherty full-count fastball deep into the left-field seats to give the Braves a 3-0 cushion in Game 2. Duvall followed a one-out single by Brian McCann.
'FOLTY' OUTDUELING FLAHERTY
Cardinals righthander Jack Flaherty sported an historic 0.91 earned run average over 15 starts in the second half of this season. The Atlanta Braves matched that in the first inning Friday in Game 2 of the National League Division series when Josh Donaldson raked a two-out single to left to score Ozzie Albies from second.
