The Atlanta Braves opened their West Coast road trip with a bang after Thursday night’s 17-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Atlanta lineup racked up 16 hits, and for the first time since 2001, every member of the starting lineup recorded an RBI.
It was a successful night for the pitchers, too, who allowed a combined six
hits. Reynaldo López got the start, lasted five innings, and required two relievers to finish the game.
The series continues with another late night matchup Friday at 9:45 ET behind Grant Holmes.
