The Atlanta Braves offense set a new mark for futility in this one
The Atlanta Braves got walked off by the Chicago Cubs, 4-3, in the 10th inning to open their series in Wrigley Field on Tuesday night.Last week in Truist Park against the Cubs, Morton had the shortest outing of his season: three innings with four runs allowed on five hits and three walks. He threw 76 pitches to do it, too.
And then Morton just decided he wasn’t going to do...that anymore. Morton finished the next three innings in just 38 pitches, allowing only one more hit, two more walks and no runs while striking out a total of eight in the outing.The stuff was as good as ever, with Morton getting 13 whiffs and putting up a 26% CSW. He hit almost 3400 RPM on a curveball; only four pitchers have reached a higher spin rate on a curveball all season.
Atlanta’s premium defenders brought the offense tonight - Harris had a leadoff homer in the 3rd inning and Arcia went two for three with two RBI and a run scored, putting up his own homer in the top of the 2nd.Not to be outdone, Harris also make a great defensive play with Cubs on base that saved two runs for scoring and preserved Atlanta’s lead. On a ball to deep center field, he made a leaping catch just short of the wall, forcing both runners back to their original bases.
