Braves vs. D-backs Game Highlights (7/8/24) | MLB Highlights

and here is your diamond back starter tonight yilber Diaz 23-year-old right-hander making his major league debut 105 strikeouts in 76 innings in their minor league system this year and homered yesterday and their wi over the Phillies at TRS park there is the quarterback at the infield and Pomo has got the snap and there’s one away it’s two and two looking for his first big league strike out got him ilber Diaz has his first major league stri strike out a 98 mph fast ball to ring up Azie Al you know we’re at the top of the the food chain here so we’ll get a little taste of what that that looks like at the big league level Riley gets into this to center field it’s still going and it is gone Austin Riley with a solo Jack at the top of the first what a way to start the series for Atlanta home run number 12 for Austin and that was absolutely pulverized just to the left of the batter’s eye so nmer Diaz after getting the first two in his big league debut runs into a bit of a rough batch with Austin Riley payoff swinging a Fly ball popup actually on the infield it’s the second baseman Marte calling for it makes the catch and the inning is over Diaz first inning in the big leagues in the book Bryce selder gets another opportunity CJ and no doubt he is excited to get this opportunity as we mentioned he was really good in his last one when he came up for a spot start and olon gets it off of Bounce Elder covers but that’s well done cuz Carol is so fast a couple of the best defensive first baseman in the game going head to-head here tonight Matt olssen ranging to his right leads Bryce Elder to the bag and he just does get there two and two to Marte who I mentioned Allstar he’ll be starting at second base in the allstar game but here he is sending this out to Kel two outs Elder looking for a one two three inning this should do it little bit easier here for Olen good start for Bryce Elder and the Braves count full dback Trail one- nothing pitch called strike three fast ball bottom of the Zone second strike out for Diaz two outs and he gets into this one and drives it deep to Center Alec Thomas has room and yber Diaz has a one two three second he Trails it one nothing back with you from Chase Field where Christian Walker is number one on the list of Allstar snubs for the national league he got crunched by an underperforming Mets team which had only one Allstar but that was Pete Alonzo who plays first base and so by default he became the Mets lone mandatory All-Star representative and obviously Harper and Freeman deserve to be there but boy hard to not put Christian Walker on that Allstar soft liner Orlando R arranges over to grab it speaking of former Allstar Bryce Elder four up and four down for the man who made the All-Star team a season ago Diamond Backs come in hot they’ve won six of eight to get back to 500 [Music] knocked down at third by Riley Aria tries to scoop it up and they made it close but gel’s aboard and that’s a base hit for luris gel on the Move Murphy with a throw it’s a good one but luris snuck in there and he’s got his four stolen base and Gabby goes the other way it backs up du Bal to the track and he’s able to run it down Lis will tag it head for third as Mareno hits it deep to right Olson will go over there is there enough real estate yes there is couple of feet in front of the net Runner stranded at third Shawn Murphy leading it off versus joer Diaz that one oh yeah it’s going to turn into a hit for Shawn Murphy he thought about going to second but he will stop well it may not have been a beautiful thing off the bat but the result is beautiful for the catcher grounder up the middle back to- back hits here to start the third inning for Atlanta and the bottom of the order set the table for the top of the order Runners at first and second no one now Diaz just comes at him with a fast ball right down the middle and gets strikeout number three and Ales lines it to Corbin Carroll two outs for Diaz and here comes Riley Homer to the first the 02 swinging a tamper in front of the plate Moreno gloves it fires to First inning over a pair of singles but two men stranded through two and a half Atlanta leads the Dbacks one to nothing Zario pokes it out out to Short Stop Suarez is over there and that’s seven straight set down by yilber Dez this is the family he he initially tried out didn’t get signed kind of wandered around a little bit and wasn’t playing baseball for a while but then got back into the game and got himself side and now here he is in his first ever Major League start the 01 Murphy in the air to center right there is Thomas drifting two steps to his left two outs breaking ball rolled to the left side charging Pomo throws on the run in time to get Aria and it’s now nine in a row set down by the rookie Jil Diaz a ground ball out to third taking it on the second bounce Riley throws over in a hurry bounces the throw and Olsen’s got it for the out very nice play on both ends ground bought is short R is up with it patch the mitt slings it over fires a strike two down just one strike out for Bryce see if he can get number two here well he will not it will be a liner to right though into the glove of duall and Elder does have another one two three frame a couple of young pitchers and this thing’s turned into a pitcher duel it’s one nothing Braves into the top of the sixth inning in fact both pitchers have retired the last nine men they faced consecutively and here’s Jared Kellick to try to disrupt all that here in the top of the sixth inning and Kellick Strokes one in the right field and a base hit and it’s a lead off single for the Braves here in the sixth inning and the first time they’ve had a base hit since the third inning this place was buzzing for a good couple of innings after that home run by Riley in the first inning 430 ft swing and a miss there is that slider Riley strikes out that’s four for Diaz and there’s two down in the six really big moment of the ball game right here up to the plate Marcelo Zuna inning started with a single by kelik who then stole second base Al lined out Riley struck out and Olsen walked the two two breaking ball called strike three he locked him up and Diaz pitches out of the jam big Applause from his teammates Innings of one run ball in the books now can the Dbacks get him some runs we head to the bottom of the six tying run at second bottom of the six here’s Corbin Carroll 0 for two first pitch chopped into left field that’s a base hit Pomo around third he’s going to come home to score and we are tied at one well you call for some runs you got some a Baltimore chop into left field to tie the game so the bases are now loaded with no one out and the batter is going to be Christian Walker and Walker will be facing Grant Hol he’s ahead on the count three balls and no strikes and you know he has a green light if it’s a pitch to his liking HS has walked in a run and the Diamondbacks have the lead so that young man yilber Diaz in line for the win but he’d like to add a whole lot more to that here comes Lis swinging a liner center field Kellick racing over to his right makes the catch coming home to score is Marte the other Runners will tag and move up 90 ft it’s 3 to one excellent base running from both Peterson and Christian Walker Matt Olson going over there there is enough room can he get there what a play come on look at this throw and then he spins around Fires at home and keeps a runner at third you cannot do it any better than that absolutely amazing everything we’ve talked about with the defense tonight here for Matt Olsen this is highlight real material Gilbert Diaz looks to get a win in his major league debut and here is Paul Seawall who had been perfect in his save opportunities all year long and now the DXs one out away from a comeback win and a chance to get over 500 for the first time since the first week in April and a fly Ball Deep right center field heading back to the wall here comes some smoke we got a Time ball game a home run by Murphy that’s out there in the swimming pool and it’s three a piece in the ninth Azie just trying to get that run home from third here in the top of the 10 this will get to run home liner to right short will tag the throw coming home from Carol is late and the Braves have regain the lead in the top of the 10 the pitch Pomo in the air left center field should be deepen up McCarthy racing home here comes the throw from Kellick it is not in time McCarthy scores and we’re tied at four one-1 pitch Marcel to center field stays up for Thomas Riley coming home the throw oh it is late head first slide Braves back in front again Atlanta has lost 28 streak games when they’ve allowed at least four runs the Diamond Backs are down to their final out and it’ll be up to lordis guriel JR out to left field white drifting back he’s got it and the Braves win it come from behind fashion 11 Innings and the final 5 to four Atlanta what a victory for the braavos
