Braves 7, Dodgers 2: Wrobo saves the pen and goes 8.2 innings, bats again barely avoid a shutout - Dodgers Digest
"Wrobo starts with a six-pitch 1st inning, including a strikeout with a 97 MPH fastball. After another strikeout to start the 2nd, the wheel started to come off. A lead-off single was followed by a bunt single to put a pair on, and another single from Eli White followed to score the game's first run."
"However, Wrobo rebounded by inducing a comebacker that seemed destined to end the inning on a double play, but instead he threw wildly and Alex Freeland had to make a great play to just get one. A four-pitch walk to the nine-hole hitter loaded the bases and was costly when Mauricio Dubon yanked a slider down the line in left for a three-run double to make it 4-0 Braves."
"Wrobo followed that up by retiring the next 16 Braves hitters in a row before surrendering a lead-off single to start the 8th. However, he quickly saw that erased by a double play, which was good timing since Drake Baldwin followed by homering. That's the first homer Wrobo has given up this year and made it 5-0 Braves."
Justin Wrobleski began with a six-pitch first inning that included a 97 mph fastball strikeout. He added another strikeout to start the second, but a lead-off single, a bunt single, and a subsequent single put runners on and produced the first run. He induced a comebacker that nearly ended the inning on a double play, but a wild throw allowed one run. A four-pitch walk loaded the bases, and Mauricio Dubon hit a three-run double to make it 4-0. Wrobleski retired 16 straight batters before a lead-off single in the eighth, which was erased by a double play. Drake Baldwin then homered, and the Braves added runs to win 7-2 while the Dodgers failed to capitalize on limited opportunities.
