JR Ritchie impresses in 1-0 victory over Philly
"Suarez looked pretty good by his standards, striking out 3, walking 2, and accruing 10 whiffs over 4.0+ scoreless innings and 61 pitches thrown. He allowed 4 batted balls over 95 MPH, two of which were ground balls. Overall a strong outing for Jose."
"JR Ritchie entered the game in the sixth and hit Adolis Garcia to start his outing. Ritchie settled in after that, inducing a soft flyout and striking out two, ending the inning. He carried that momentum into the second inning, striking out the first two batters and ending the inning with a Trea Turner pop-out."
"Ritchie ended his outing with 4.0 no-hit innings with 6 strikeouts and just the one HBP as the lone baserunner, needing 52 pitches to get the job done. He worked with a large pitch mix, as is his norm and did so to devastating effect. That's a really impressive outing for the Opening Day roster candidate and top prospect."
The Braves faced the Phillies in a game featuring limited offensive production from both sides. Jose Suarez started for the Braves, striking out three batters while walking two over 4.0+ scoreless innings on 61 pitches. Joel Payamps relieved him in the fifth inning. JR Ritchie entered in the sixth and delivered an impressive performance, pitching four no-hit innings with six strikeouts and only one hit batter on 52 pitches. The Braves' offense struggled throughout most of the game, squandering a leadoff triple in the first inning and failing to score until Tyler Tolve hit a solo home run in the ninth. Brett Wisely and Luke Williams each recorded two hits for the Braves.
