"Atlanta have lost on Mother's Day for the last three seasons. You have to go back to May 8, 2022 when Charlie Morton led the Braves to a 9-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers for their last win on this particular day. They didn't just lose, though. They specifically (and excruciatingly) lost in walkoff fashion for these three straight years."
"Raisel Iglesias (2023, 2025) and AJ Minter (2024) came in to close tight games and were charged with losses instead. Road wins are tough, but the Braves lead the league in them this year, so let's see if we can stop this unfortunate trend today behind starter Bryce Elder. Because if Bryce Elder pitches a complete game shutout, there can't be a high-leverage bullpen arm to blow it, right? Right?"
"The regularly-rested Bryce and his sterling 2.02 ERA will take the mound in today's finale hoping to add yet another quality start to his 2026 campaign. He had a strong performance his last time out versus Seattle, pitching six innings allowing two hits, two earned runs, and three walks while striking out nine. He got swings and misses on all five of his pitches and was very in control outside of the two-run homer allowed to J.P. Crawford in the third inning."
"Justin Wrobleski (5-0, 1.25 ERA) will make his sixth start for the Dodgers since moving from the bullpen on April 6. He's made a fantastic case to stay in the rotation, especially with Snell's less-than-ideal debut last night and Glasnow down with back spasms. That ERA is already eye-popping, but it's even better when you discount his three-run, four inning relief outing"
Atlanta has lost on Mother’s Day for the last three seasons, with the most recent win on May 8, 2022 coming from a 9-2 victory over Milwaukee led by Charlie Morton. The losses have come in walkoff fashion each year, with Raisel Iglesias and AJ Minter charged with defeats after entering to close tight games. The team hopes to stop the trend with starter Bryce Elder, who has a 2.02 ERA and is expected to provide a complete-game shutout to avoid bullpen involvement. Elder’s last start included six innings, two hits, two earned runs, three walks, and nine strikeouts, with strong pitch control aside from a third-inning homer. Justin Wrobleski starts for the Dodgers with a 1.25 ERA and has made six starts since moving into the rotation.
