Mariners vs. Braves Game Highlights (9_5_25)_ MLB Highlights

Tonight Chris sale will get the ball for Atlanta and he is ready to lead out the Braves right now. First time pitching at Truist Park for Chris sales since back on June 18th. Then he had the rib injury. He returned in his last start against Philadelphia six innings a three hit ball one run on a solo homer in nine punch outs. So I would say he didn't skip a beat and he strikes out Randy a Rose arena and his first game back here at Truist Park in over two months. Cal Raleigh the results have been there for him this year. All those home runs that he's hit but here it's a single with one out of the first inning. Rodriguez has been swinging a very hot bat a homer in each of his last two games. But if you look at the last 23 he's hitting three thirty best stretch of the season. But sale strikes him out and it's the slider again. Rodriguez strikes out two down in the inning. That'll bring a Eugenio Suarez to the plate runner takes off. Play it second. They got him. Ali the catcher tried to sneak a steal and that ends the top of the first inning. Logan Gilbert is on the mound tonight his twenty first start back to back quality starts for Logan coming into tonight's game. Bro far to right field can zone over. He won't get to it. Double Brian Snitka was bragging on pro far and what he's done for the team at the top of the order. Well another example right here to start the game against a tough pitcher and now it's Matt Olsen to the plate. This is outside with another four seam fastball and the Braves have the first two on here. So a double by pro far a walk to Olsen and runners at first and second for the Red Hot Ozzie Albies. Now the swings have looked really good and there's another one a two to pitch out to right field a pro for had to wait to see if that would clear. But the Braves have them loaded with nobody out and they are loaded for Drake Baldwin. But Gilbert does strike out Baldwin one away. See what Hassan Kim can do in his first Braves at bat here at Truist Park. Bases loaded one out no score in the bottom of the first comes up swinging out the center. This should produce a run. Rodriguez takes it pro far will score and Atlanta leads it one to nothing as Hassan Kim drives in his good buddy and former Padres teammate Jerickson Brokaw. That four Homer game that Suarez had with the Diamondbacks against Atlanta earlier this year was on April 26th and then he got shipped to Seattle at the trade deadline. Liner here Kim has it jumping up in the outfield grass to make the play. Beautiful thing for a sale certainly appreciates it. First time that he has pitched with Kim behind him it's short Gilbert struggled in the first got out of it with only one run trying to get a one two three second here. He's going to have to hustle to it throws it in the ground and Nacho beats it out. Yeah that was going to be a tough play from the get go perfectly play swinging bunt right there and Gilbert kind of falls off to the first base side in his delivery. Fly ball in the shallow center field racing in his Julio on the run reaches out and he makes the catch and that's going to retire the side Julio just flat out out runs the baseball. We go to the top of the third sales three to a fly ball towards shallow left pro far coming in long run very long run gets to it. But he got there. Yeah that ball just kind of kept slicing away from him left handed hitter off the end of the bat. So that ball just kind of keeps chasing that left field line and it just looks like pro forward is never going to get there. The ball wasn't cooperating. He's like come on slow down come down. Big opportunity right here for the Mariners third inning Mariners down one nothing two runners aboard two outs two on Cal single earlier one popped up shallow right center Ozzie going back makes it over the shoulder catch and he puts away out number three in shallow right center field. Good pursuit by Ozzie Albies no runs one hit sale has looked sharp. Mariners got a couple runners on in the third inning but he got Raleigh to pop out to keep it one to nothing swing and a miss ninety seven he blew it right by Rodriguez cracked it up to ninety seven and threw that ball by Rodriguez another strikeout for sale back to back he gets Rodriguez and now Suarez. That's the second out here in the fourth fourth strikeout for sale tap right in front of the plate pouncing on it ball. That'll be an easy play. Lobs down the line to the inside of the bag for the out that brings it into the top of the fourth inning sale looking good through four hasn't allowed a run. We go to the bottom of the fourth inning one nothing Braves one run four hits Atlanta no runs three hits for the Mariners. This is out to right field and a Leipzig takes a hit away up against the wall in right field and that brings an end to the fourth inning. Nice play by Tom into the top of the fifth inning here in Atlanta Braves have a one nothing lead on the Mariners bottom three in the order Canzone who just made that great play out at right. But Chris Sale makes quick work of him at the plate. He is down on strikes five K's for Chris Sale. It's a little boring out there in the outfield sometimes. Well when you got Chris Sale striking people out. Two to right there at the knees Rivas didn't like it but it looked like it was a strike breaking ball was sweeping certainly it took forever to get to home plate trying to strike out the side here one to pitch pitch to Rayleigh Cole strike three again Rayleigh down on strike struck out the side. You work Chris Sale. He's got seven on the night Braves on top of the Mariners one to nothing. Chris Sale struck out the side last inning he's up to seven punch outs. Brokaw sprints dives I think he gets excellent effort from Jordan Brokaw. Well he can have a hot dog and some vignettes. He's been doing a lot of running out there in left field tonight. Great play. See if he caught it. He sure did. Wow what a great play. You're right with those four balls that he has chased from the gap toward the line. He's walking a lot of steps out there on the fifth bit. Yeah he is sale looking for his eighth strikeout. We're in the sixth seventy nine pitches swing and a miss tough slider in the corner Julio swings through another one two three inning sales retired seven in a row. He is on his game tonight. One nothing Atlanta with the lead. We go to the bottom of the sixth Logan Gilbert has been excellent tonight. He spins him around like a top and Logan Gilbert collects his seventh strikeout every single strikeout tonight by Logan Gilbert has been on that split finger and we've said it before about Logan Splitter that's got a mind of its own. A Rosarito in left field Logan Gilbert a strong start once again tonight for the Mariners and on the road no less. He retires his side in order to run over six innings and that is going to be it for Chris Sale. So he gets two outs gets over 90 pitches and Brian Snitka is going to the bullpen. Excellent effort from sale tonight. Round of applause for Chris Sale who is terrific tonight six and two thirds shutout innings. New pitcher for the Braves is left hander Dylan Lee who will come on to face the left handed hitter Dominic Canzon. Shadow center base hit can zone is a board of the Mariners have the tie and run Polanco now in scoring position. Here comes Rivas swung on hit hard up the middle. It's through a base hit Polanco around third. He's steaming home. He is going to score. Leo Rivas has tied the game. It is one to one in the seven now Rayleigh lifted. And how about this. Harry Ford will make his major league debut right here and he strikes out Lee takes advantage of Ford making his big league debut. But the Mariners tie it up at one bottom of the eighth still tied one one and left hander Gabe Speier will take over in relief hard hit up the middle. Good start here in the bottom of the eight. Pofar heads for second and he gets in there. Hussle double go ahead right in scoring position right away. If Maddie can at least get him over to third base here. Ground ball right off the mound went over J.P. Crawford and Matt Olsen with the RBI. That was a bullet right off the dirt of the mound. And now this one deep to right at the wall and off the run so far to get it going to score as he's going to get a triple as he all these ripping one off the wall and right field to the Braves have a three one lead in the eight Ozzie's third hit of this game. And there is no one hotter than Ozzie here lately. Ground ball past a diving for a Blanco and a base hit in the right center. That scores Ozzie all these it's four one Braves as Atlanta has come through with four straight hits versus Spire. Bats have come to life here in the eight. It's gone double single triple single from Pofar Olsen all these involved. And it will be right sound like Glacier is trying to come on now to get the same for the Atlanta Braves. So the Mariners down to their final out what to. To Matt Olsen. Propelled by great pitching from Chris Sale and a three run eighth inning the Braves claim game one versus the Mariners. They extend the Mariners troubles on the road and the Braves take this one by a final score of four to one.
