Braves vs. Red Sox Game Highlights (5/18/25) | MLB Highlights

It's up to Bale to throw the ball well he comes in to win over the two thirty three earned run average. It'll be his sixth start of the year. He turned 26 years old yesterday and trying to start his season at three and a Purdue go aggressive and he singles to right field. Wiley just told you the tale about when he came here as a Yankee last year first pitch he saw a fail he homered to center he was ready for Bayo here again today. Now Riley swinging stopped by Hamilton but Riley will beat it out and a great start here for Atlanta two pitches two singles two men on and that miss ninety seven down and in so two singles now a walk Braves with a prime opportunity here in the first inning. Alex Cora was hoping for the momentum from yesterday to carry over but Bale right now struggling a little bit called strike on the outside corner and Ozuna is the first out down looking Drake Baldwin continues to impress. He hooked a homer around Pesky Pole last night and is 10 for sixteen with four extra base hits and five RBI during a five game hitting three liner left field it falls and Baldwin gets the Braves on the board one to nothing in the first inning. Drake Baldwin just continues to impress game after game. Yeah all he does is hit you know when he's in there and he gets an opportunity to play he generally does something to help the team. Bases remain looted for Ozzie Albee and Ozzie sends one to the right side out to second base. Hamilton's got it throws to the bag. Mayo's there they get the out and a run scores. That was a tricky play. Toro the first baseman diving to his right he whiffed it but they're backing him up the second baseman Hamilton able to squeeze going to his left and Mayo to cover the bag. The Braves and seven men to the plate and they strike for two runs on three hits no errors and two left. All right. Let's see glad with Spencer Schwalbe Bach has in store here today. A tenth start of the year second appearance against the Red Sox last two times out really good six innings nowhere and runs against Cincinnati seven seven innings two or runs beat Washington his last time out. He's been a different looking guy last few days. Jared Yeah absolutely. Ground ball that'll find a hold on the right side for a base hit so Durant stays hot. Make it five straight Rafael Devers coming up and the last pitch that he saw yesterday was the last pitch of the ball game. This one though he's Scott Verdugo finds it and takes it. Alex Bregman getting his first look at Spencer Schwellenbach pop one up up to short Allen drifting back into shallow left catches the pop out little harmless little pop up and two down to two line to right. But Eli White had a plate perfectly a single but nothing else for the Red Sox Braves enjoying a two to nothing lead on to the third inning in game number three of this series here between the Atlanta Braves and the Boston Red Sox two of the original 16 franchises in major league baseball left field line here off the bat of Matt Olsen kicks into the corner fair. It's now six hits in the series for Matt Olsen including a couple of homers and now this double. Yeah he's just been line to line in the series which is just great to see. So leadoff man on for Atlanta in this rubber game at Fenway brings up Marcelo Zuniga broken bat little blooper that will drop in the right center. Matt Olsen coming home throw to the plate is cut off and it's three to nothing Atlanta RBI single for Marcelo Zuniga. Yeah just saw him off right at the end of the bat and two he had a little do a little two step down there in the third base coaching box. He was trying to see if the ball was going to fall in and direct Maddie and at the same time trying to get out of the way of the bat. Well Red Sox a bit of a hole to try and dig themselves out of here. Hamilton Rafaela and Duran tears into that one down the line. White will give chase that on the extra bases and Hamilton Saunders in the second base with a double. This is the part of the lineup that can wreak some havoc right on some defenses that they get going. Hamilton Rafaela Duran to hard hitter. Based in the left Hamilton will move on to third and stop there go back to back hits top of the order and a red hot Jared Duran next Schwellenbach with a 3 1 and walked in and with nobody out the bases are loaded for Rafi Devers. This 15 games he's hitting for eleven with an O.P.S. over eleven hundred I fly center field Harris back turning turning watch and slam. He could not be any harder. Red Sox jump into the lead for three on their first grand slam of the year. It wasn't a breaking ball. This was ninety eight top of the zone. It's a pitch and he's been struggling as hard as he is still early in the year. He gets on top of it. Devers again well last night the first walk off home run of his career and today a grand slam to erase a three run hole. Yeah we're talking about shutdown innings when pitchers get the lead. Well let's have a bounce back in here. I like that soft liner to center and Allen disrupts the potential one to three inning with a two out single and he shoots it down that third baseline beautifully. Now Allen is going to pump the brakes at second. Gosh it was like Verdugo saw that opening and he just slapped the ball right down that line. Yeah you couldn't place that thing down there any better. Well that base it gives you an opportunity here with Riley Riley one for two with a single and a run scored he has two hits in the series but a base hit right here should tie the game down the line that's trouble. This ball game is going to be tied. Austin Riley RBI single bouncing off the green monster and all of this coming with two outs here in the fourth inning. Now the Braves have them loaded with no one out. This is the exact same situation the Red Sox had in the third inning when Devers in a grand slam. And now the Braves have the bases loaded. No one out for Michael Harris. That misses and Bayo walks home the go ahead run here in the top of the fifth three walks and four hitters faced in this inning for the right hander. And here's Eli White looking to bring that on to the five four lead Eli White out in the right center field. One run will score that's all the Braves will get here because Ozzie had to freeze on the line drive but the Braves has sent five to the plate all have reached and Atlanta's up six to four. And now it's Nick Allen to the plate. If Allen can find a way to cash in Allen in the air right center Ozzie will tag on this and he will come home easily RBI for Nick Allen and give the Braves now a three run cushion. And here comes Cora again this is the third consecutive start for Bayo he's had to come out and get him before he could escape the fifth. Well yeah this 15 he's going to look back at it I mean get that grand slam it's a four to four ball game you haven't got through five and two straight starts and you came out walk three of the first four hitters you faced in the left hand and Newcombe inherits runners at first and third and trying to salvage something here. Another ball for that's going to load him up again. Fourth walk issued by the Sox here in the fifth inning. Hot shot Bregman with a diving play down the second one on the first and got him to the double play man did the Red Sox need Alex Bregman right there. Outstanding diving play to turn to Braves have them at the corners with nobody out in the eight. Olsen out to center. Going over to grab it Rafaela but the Braves will get a run out of this and they are now doubling up the Red Sox eight to four in the eight. Just what this team needs you know just get a little extra insurance run late in the game. Leading eight four in the eighth. Marcello Zuniga. Yes that would go by and leaves the building again. I had a bad feeling the big bear was going to do that one and it's that bad. That is a big fly for the big bear to get Atlanta to double digits and the Braves one out away from winning the series here on rivalry weekend in Boston Leiter Raley's there Braves win and Atlanta wraps up this stretch of 17 games and 17 days with a victory in Boston.
