the season and one weird stat you look at the Cubs have lost eight straight Justin steel starts they haven’t won a game that he started since September 4th of last year aunia last night had four 32 counts and he has a 3-2 count here to start tonight’s ball game ground ball hoer collects and throws out auna one up and one down here is Azie alz batting right-handed the switch shooter bounces one toward the middle Herer is there for that one makes the play right near the bag and throws to First in time two bouncing balls toward Horner each one scored four to three no score just underway two down bases empty for Marcel Ozuna it’ss a high fly ball to center it’s playable for Bellinger he is waiting and squeezing one two three inning for Justin steel we go to the bottom of the first and on the mound for the Atlanta Braves is Max freed 10th start of the season and you can see that three and2 record for him really nice batting average against of just 213 four home runs allowed so far this season and the onew to Herer ground ball out towards short taken on one Bounce by Aria and he Wings it over to first base for the out one down two to Suzuki got him swinging and there’s his first victim of the night got him with a sinker and now here’s Bellinger well it will be an 11 pitch bottom of the first so 21 total pitches in the first inning six up six down freed throwing a lot of strikes there has not yet been a base runner in tonight’s game swing and a miss and Max Fred is in a zone right now through the first five Cubs hitters inning two two down two two count Dansby win and that will do it and he’s got his third victim of the ball game yeah we go to the top of the third Justin steel back to work bottom three coming up for the Atlanta Braves starting with Harris there’s the first base runner of the game Michael Harris with a single to Center continuing his nice series here at Wrigley Adam dual digging in it’s from steel there’s a high deep drive towards center field that’s drifting back and that is on to the batter’s eye it’s a two-run homer for Adam duv B met that one with tremendous force and sent it sailing out of here into the thicket of plants just above the basket out there in straightaway center field on the batter ey freed already has three strikeouts through six batters face so far he’s got a two- two count right now did he go yes he did says Ryan Addison already 4ks for freeze o two pitch in the air to center field coming in and now slowing is Mich go Harris makes a chest High catch that’s now eight in a row sat down by Max freed and that brings Miguel Amaya up to the plate Orlando R awaits for this routine ground ball 33 pitches for free to get through three and we head to the fourth Elvis wonder if he’s just got Coke in that cup Matt Olsson leading off the fourth against Justin steel who just went over 50 pitches tonight and the Lefty fires swing and a miss and Olen is gone third strike out for Justin steel one away here’s darno two two swing and a miss that was the change it’s a game of adjustments apparently Justin willing to try something a little different rcia waits for the 3-2 from Justin steel check swing did he go strike three AR out on strikes steel strikes out the side let’s see if the Cubs can get him some runs there are certain starts where guys just seem locked in and Max has had a few of them this year obviously and it has that feel again tonight comfortable hitting his spots stuff looks really live all the off speed pitches that we’ve seen so far tonight looking really sharp and the story has been Max freed he’s retired 15 in a row half has had success pair of home runs in his career against Max fre line drive base hit out of the left center field Harris over to cut it off Ian’s Racing for second and he’ll dive in with a double the perfect game and the no hitter lasted five innings for Max free and that’s how quickly it turns they hadn’t had a base runner and now the tying run comes to the plate half a third one down comes down to zip and a little roller this will score R short to First and it’s a 2-1 game the runners on the corners and one away short try to squeeze it and it works to Perfection Aria comes home it is three to one Atlanta and at the line for Justin steel Jose quas tall long-legged right-hander the new pitcher for the Cubs allall four inside that will load the bases for Azie Al be lifted towards left over by the line coming over half he’s under it makes the catch through ball tags from third here’s the throw from left field it’s cut and not in time and now lead 4-1 with two down here in the seventh inning for Marcelo Zuna another opportunity to extend the hitting streak to 15 but needs a knock right here Marcelo Zuna hits this high and deep to left Center going back is happen he will watch it go a big bear fly a three-run homer his 15th of the season and also extends his hit streak to 15 games and Atlanta now has a cushion It’s s to one now the offense coming to life a little bit here in the windy city in game two of the series now about back to to back yes sir Matt Olen following up ozuna’s Homer with a shot of his own and it’s 8 to one Braves fans remember this feeling and we saw it earlier this season where this offense gets going and it just feels Unstoppable for opposing pitchers yeah quas is thrown a lot of pitches out of the pin this will be the 42nd and it’s a bad one it gets by Amaya and the Braves will tack on it is nine to one now and all of a sudden things getting pretty sloppy here for the Chicago Cubs and this one just yanked we go to the ninth Big League debut for Porter Hodge 13th round pick by the Cubs in 2019 in there and Al’s gone on strikes pretty good way to start your big league career right there good morning good afternoon good night and now rcel Oona Hodge working quickly see you later hey don’t peek too early Porter for the trifecta here’s pitch number eight nope this time send him down hod ahe one and two God swing and he strikes out the side one pitch away from an Immaculate inning welcome to the show Porter Hodge he is rolling here we go to the bottom of the ninth eight Innings 94 pitches and now he’ll go for a complete Game Lu Vasquez getting his first taste of the majors right here Vasquez his big league debut swing and a miss so the first plate appearance for Vasquez is a strike out at the hands of Max free here’s the 10 from freed and a little Tapper out in front of the plate Fair ball taken by Travis and he just lobs a hook shot down the first base line look like Kareem Abdul Jabar out there and Matt able to clear the rebound for the out and two down here in the ninth inning you don’t see many complete games these days in the big leagues and this is going to be his second one if he gets one more out softly out to left in comes Duval he’s got it Braves win another masterpiece
