Braves vs. Guardians Game Highlights (8/16/25) | MLB Highlights

Tom Hamilton has gotten to see all the great moments. He’s gotten to call all the great moments for the Cleveland Guardians and Cleveland Indians since 19 90 in July. Tom was honored at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown during Hall of Fame weekend receiving the distinguished Ford C Frick award. Congratulations Tom on this well deserved honor and induction. The Guardians. What big Slades on the bump? And I think everybody agrees his last start was just a one off and hopefully he’s able to put that behind him. So jerks and profar climbing in. He was one for four last night about to take his first cut at Slades the pitch to him and he sent one sky high shallow right center and that is out. Number one. Here’s matt Olson and the payoff pitch strike three called, he run him up on a fastball away. So that’s where he lives on the edges. Olson’s out number two, no score in the first for ronald Acuna Junior. Now the 3 to 0 pitch swung on and he popped up the 3 to 0 pitch behind the plate. Playable catcher Austin Hedges makes the catch and a 13 pitch inning for Slades and for the Braves another opportunity for Joey, we stephen Kwan leads off for Cleveland left on left, the pitch swung and drilled, diving stop by Alvarez from his knees. Can’t throw out what an effort able to beat it out. So stephen Kwan has now hit safely in eight games when he has played Atlanta that will bring up Angel Martinez batting right handed. Not another opportunity. 543 double play. Joey went faces the minimum in the bottom of the first inning. No runs, a hit, no errors and Then left, we go to the top of the second inning. No score. Drake Baldwin leads off the second. This young man hitting 285 13 homers. 52 RB I S Baldwin has us excited every night. He just continues to produce. He’s heading to second and he’ll slide in there with a leadoff double. There’s the 1 to 1 pitch on the way to Ozuna. Oh my goodness. It clocked him in the helmet and he goes down to the seat of his pants and Marcel back up on his feet, grabs his helmet, tosses it aside and he’s gonna take first base. So Zuna hit in the head right on the a logo on the front of the helmet there at 1st and 2nd 1 out for Michael Harris. And again the 22 swung on and muscled in the air to deep left field going back to the warning track and right in front of that 19 ft wall, he makes the catch Drake Baldwin tags from second and he makes his way to third base runners at the corners one down and in front of the curveball. So that’s not going to score a run two down. So now it’s up to Nacho Alvarez and he swings and whacks one in the left a base hit that will drive in. Baldwin got a curveball was able to identify it, got the foot down and got the barrel through and lift it over the infield for the RB I single ones. A two out base hit to drive in a run. Now, Nick Allen looking for the same one to Allen and Allen clubs, one in the air to deep left field going back now and spinning his quad over his head. It off the wall will score right on heels. Not Joe Alvarez. Two RB I doubled. It’s three nothing Braves as Nick Allen just hit a lightning bolt off the left field wall. The Braves have delivered some early run support for Joey went as goes to the bottom of the second to a great inning for Joey went, he walks Santana but he struck out Fry arias and K and that puts two innings behind us. We go to the top of the third inning. Three Nothing Braves runner at first two down for Michael Harris over Santana’s head. The flip to with a dynamite play. He had to wait on Sacconi and Then hit him in the chest with a perfect flip to retire the side. He moved to the bottom of the third Atlanta three Cleveland Nothing right now. Brian Roch leads off Roo batting 288 over his last 33 games crushed deep left field high and deep into the bleachers. Brian Roo gets the Guardians on the, with his second home run of the year, his first home run right handed this season first, it’s his second overall 3 to 11 away here in the fourth inning. And now hoping for better luck against the bottom of the Braves order here than what he experienced two innings ago. Alvarez had an RB I single. Allen had a two RB I double. Let’s see if they can set the table for the top of the order 32 and he hits one of the year to shallow right coming in K going out Santana and that’s down between the two of them big turn at first base by not Alvarez, but he holds and goes back to the bag on one on. Nick Allen biggest base hit of the game to this point for the Braves and the two RB I double in the one Allen with the dribble out to first glove by Santana spins and fires and safe at second base is not at first base. Nick Allen. The throw by Santana sailed on him and arias coming across the bag to cover had to leap into the air. So when he made the catch, he was not in contact with the bag and once he landed, cut it loose to first base and that was late and it will be a fielder’s choice and an E three charged to carlos Santana. So here’s profile runners at 1st and 2nd 1 down, 32 didn’t go ball four that will load the bases. Matt Olson trying to add on to the 3 to 1 lead. That one gets by. Hedges might have a play at the plate safe. Nacho slides in everybody advances and it’s 4 to 1. So Atlanta has that three run cushion back. Now, Cleveland is going to bring the infield in here with one out and runners at 2nd and 3rd. Olson lifts this out to left center that’s going to score another run. Kwan takes it. Allen comes home the throw to third. Now the Braves did score before the tag. So that run does count the jerk and pro far at least did a good job slowing down and not running into that out and they scored two runs in the inning. It’s 51 Braves ronald Aha Junior first pitch in the fifth inning and a single to center field. And for Baldin, it’s a fielder’s choice on a 36 put out of ronald Aha and one down 21 to Ozuna and Ozuna with a deep fly ball to right center field, Kas and Martinez back to the wall k at the wall, it’s over his head off the base of the wall rounding second heading for third base ball with a hold there and it’s a double for Ozuna infield in here for a chance to add on. And Michael Harris guys, we got curious George at the plate now , so he’s debuted all six. Here’s the bat, see if it, it’s , it is three run ball for Michael Harris and Atlanta has opened it up in the fifth. George was very curious. He was curious about what a 452 ft homer looked like three run homer by Michael Harris makes it 8 to 1. Braves. So a tough one tonight for Slates. It’s the Braves eight. The Guardians won. Joey had a chance here tonight. Stack a couple of wins together one, 23 bottom of the fifth inning. No, hoss here. It’s all Braves 81 into the six to play in his 743rd consecutive game with a fly ball to left field that’s dropping quickly and down for a base hit a leadoff single in the sixth inning. One for three is one was a single last inning, 21 and a fly ball to deep. Right. That one carrying, well, carrying back to the wall cap is at the wall leaps can’t get there. Olson goes to third base. It’ll be a double by a Baldwin big chopper to second base that drive in Olson. That will be glove by. Roo throws to the bag. There’s out number one, but it’s an RB I for Drake Baldwin and it’s 91 Braves in the sixth. Marcel has been on base three times. His next RB I will be his 60th of the season. That could be right here. He swings and it’s a fly ball to deep right field, going back throws up the glove makes the catch on the warning track sack fly for Marcelo Zuna his 60th RB I of the season and the Braves are hammering the Guardians 10 to 1 here in the sixth inning. The Braves doing cartwheels to get six innings out of Joey Wentz tonight. They got six out of their starter last night. That’s a 1236 inning for Joey went bottom of the ninth inning Braves. 10 Guardians, as you said, is going to try to go three innings here to get the job done. Here’s a fly ball to deep center Michael Harris going to go back towards the warning track and he leaps into the air and Michael has got it for the out. Well, that had some carry to it coming off the bat. It looked like maybe a routine fly ball to deep center kept carry and Michael went up the wall and was able to bring it down. What a catch by Michael one out away from the Braves being 8 to 2 in their last 10 starting to play some really good baseball here in August ground ball. Matt Olson has it. He flips and the Braves rock and roll in Cleveland tonight. 10 to 1 is the final and the Braves will go for the sweep tomorrow.
