"Ozzie Albies stood in against veteran reliever Paul Sewald and hammered a ball down the right field line to give the Braves a 1-0 lead. Chase Field erupted with a big contingent of Braves fans in attendance."
"Grant Holmes was superb over six innings, flirting with a no-hitter until Ketel Marte finally broke the seal with a single in the bottom of the sixth. That was the lone hit Holmes would surrender in addition to three walks."
"The Braves pitching staff through the first week of the season has been, to put it mildly, stellar. They have now recorded three shutouts in the first week of the season."
Ozzie Albies and Matt Olson delivered crucial hits in the ninth inning, leading the Braves to a 2-0 victory. Albies hit a solo home run, followed by Olson's back-to-back shot, securing the win. Grant Holmes pitched six strong innings, allowing only one hit and striking out four. The Braves' pitching staff has been exceptional, recording three shutouts in the first week of the season. Despite a previous high-scoring game, the Braves struggled against Eduardo Rodriguez but managed to secure the win. The series continues with Bryce Elder facing Michael Soroka next.
