Matt Olson and the Atlanta Braves are going for the sweep against the Minnesota Twins.
The Braves first baseball is doing his job as he scored Ronald Acuña in the first inning to put the Braves on the board early.
Here's the play:
As we mentioned earlier, Atlanta's sending Kolby Allard to the mound. Working in AAA Gwinnett after returning from his oblique injury, he's officially thrown to a 2.70 ERA in his six and two-thirds innings, walking two and striking out eight. This will be his first big league start for Atlanta since 2018
Opposing Atlanta is RHP Kenta Maeda. The veteran is 1-4 with a 6.86 ERA across five starts. Dealing with injuries, he's pitched only twenty-one innings this season, with twenty-two strikeouts to five walks. The Braves roster don't have a ton of at-bats or success against Maeda, with one notable exception: Matt Olson is 3-4 with two homeruns and three RBIs.
First pitch for the series finale is at 12:20 ET. The game broadcast, with Voice of the Braves Brandon Gaudin, is available inside Braves Country on Bally Sports South and is available on MLB.TV outside of the broadcast area. The radio call, with Ben Ingram, is available locally on 680 AM/93.7 FM The Fan or outside the Atlanta market on the Atlanta Braves Radio Network or MLB.com.
