"With some drama, I must say upfront. But even though Dodgers starter Justin Wrobleski outlasted Elder, you'd take Elder's final line every day. This was a fascinating pitching duel: both Elder and Wrobleski had streaks of setting down 10+ batters in efficient and dominant ways. But the Braves managed to get to Wrobleski in a big second inning."
"Matt Olson made the first out in the second, but an Austin Riley single and Michael Harris II bunt (!) put runners on for Eli White's RBI single to make it 1-0, Braves. Sean Murphy's forceout put runners at the corners, followed by Jorge Mateo working a walk. That set the table for the Mauricio Dubón special: a bases clearing double to make it 4-0."
"Bryce was cruising. The vibes were good. Cy Young jokes were being made. He got two outs in the bottom of the sixth and then just... couldn't find the zone suddenly, issuing three straight walks to load the bases. Walt Weiss prompted Murphy to chat with him on the mound a little to stall and give the bullpen more time to get ready."
"The next few scoring plays would feature the long ball. Drake Baldwin's homer in the top of the eighth was the first allowed by Wrobleski this year and made it 5-0. Tyler Kinley came in to pit"
Bryce Elder emerged as the winning pitcher in a high-stakes starter matchup against Justin Wrobleski. The Braves struck early in the second inning, scoring after an Austin Riley single and a bunt by Michael Harris II set up Eli White’s RBI single. Sean Murphy’s forceout advanced runners, Jorge Mateo drew a walk, and Mauricio Dubón delivered a bases-clearing double to make it 4-0. Wrobleski later settled and worked toward a complete game, trading scoreless innings with Elder. Elder’s momentum shifted in the sixth when he issued three straight walks, prompting mound attention and bullpen preparation. The game’s later scoring came from home runs, including Drake Baldwin’s homer in the eighth, extending the Braves’ lead.
