Briefly

Braves hit four homers but drop series opener in Seattle, 5-4
"With the Braves up 4-0, JR Ritchie was very clearly out of gas - and had lacked command all night - and was inexplicably sent to the mound once again in the sixth."
"The Braves hit Mariners starter Logan Gilbert hard all night, launching four solo homers and spraying line drives all over the field."
"Pitching in front of hundreds of friends and family, it was not a great night for Ritchie, who issued six walks and scattered four hits across 5+ innings."
The Braves' winning streak ended with a 5-4 loss to the Mariners despite an early 4-0 lead. JR Ritchie struggled on the mound, issuing walks and allowing a three-run homer. Tyler Kinley then gave up a two-run shot, sealing the Braves' fate. The team hit four solo homers but faced bad luck with batted balls. Ritchie had a challenging night, walking six batters and striking out only two. The Braves will consider pitching changes for their upcoming game against the Dodgers.
