Ready for the Atlanta Braves to head over to game two of this doubleheader against the Washington Nationals?
Chris Sale (2.52 ERA) is on the mound this go ‘round. Coming off a loss against the Cubs in his last outing (5 IP/ 7 H/ 3 ER/ 1 BB/ 9 k), Sale is looking to return in pure dominance for his fourth start since returning from what seemed like a lengthy stint on the IL.
And who will the offense be facing?
Another left-handed pitcher who you’ve probably heard of, MacKenzie Gore (4.14 ERA).
Don’t let
that ERA fool you. Gore, who’s just made his return last Thursday (September 11th), is also coming off a loss. And after having a rocky start, once he found his groove, he was back in the game with his usual rhythm of reliable (95 mph) fastballs, curveballs and changeups in the mix to hold the opposition’s runs.
Despite resulting in a loss with the Marlins, Gore will look to clinch his first win since coming back…will the Braves’ offense grant him that, or find a way to rally early and back up their pitcher in this doubleheader?
Tune in at 6:45 for the first pitch to find out.
