Today\u2019s recap is going to be a short and sweet, as this game was light on action and light on Braves\u2019 roster candidates, as Jose Suarez got the start, to be followed by JR Ritchie.<\/p>\n
Suarez looked pretty good by his standards, striking out 3, walking 2, and accruing 10 whiffs over 4.0+ scoreless innings and 61 pitches thrown. He allowed 4 batted balls over 95 MPH, two of which were ground balls. Overall a strong outing for Jose. Joel Payamps took over for Jose in the fifth after Jose gave up a leadoff single. After a bunt hit and a soft flyout, Payamps stuck out Marsh and Bohm to end the inning.<\/p>\n
JR Ritchie entered the game in the sixth and hit Adolis Garcia to start his outing. Ritchie settled in after that, inducing a soft flyout and striking out two, ending the inning. He carried that momentum into the second inning, striking out the first two batters and ending the inning with a Trea Turner pop-out. It was more of the same for the last two innings, as Ritchie ended his outing with 4.0 no-hit innings with 6 strikeouts and just the one HBP as the lone baserunner, needing 52 pitches to get the job done. He worked with a large pitch mix, as is his norm and did so to devastating effect. That\u2019s a really impressive outing for the Opening Day roster candidate and top prospect.<\/p>\n
On the offensive side, the Braves\u2019 quad-A lineup squandered a leadoff triple in the first and scattered a few baserunners but didn\u2019t put up any runs against the Philly starter, Walker\u2026or first reliever in Alvarado\u2026or any other Philly pitcher until Tyler Tolve launched a solo homer in the ninth inning. Brett Wisely and Luke Williams each had two-hit days, which were also the only Braves hits outside of the Tolve homer. Luis Guanipa got a plate appearance in the ninth and struck out.<\/p>\n
