Cincinnati Reds vs Atlanta Braves - FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS 🔥 September 23, 2026 MLB Season

73 degrees. It is a very comfortable evening here at Truist Park. Juan Brito digs in and a swing and a miss. 99 to get it started from Chris Sale. Hopefully a nice clean maybe five innings. Brito drills it to center. Harris at the wall. He tried to time it up but it's too far and a solo shot to start it out tonight for Brito and the Reds. Tied for fourth in home runs when this series started. De La Cruz a sword on the slider. He is down on strikes. With the lower innings I think makes it even more incredible. Brewer-Hicklin getting the start instead of Acuna in right tonight. Backs up makes the catch. So a solo homer and then Sale settles in. Final start of the year Andrew Abbott. I've been a little bit of a rough go of it here for Abbott with that 4.7 ERA. Low strikeout rate of 18 percent. You can see the strikeout to walk ratio not that strong either. Lowest strikeout rate of his career. Baldwin goes chasing after that sweeper. Abbott strikes him out. Well they would have been out of challenges because that was a ball. Off the end of the bat a little bloop. That's trouble. He's as good as a defender as he is. He cannot get to that and Olsen ends his doubles drought. He had not had one in the last 18 games. Ozzie Greenlight there but it's just going to be routine for Cabrera. A double for Olsen but no runs for the Braves. Sales got a strikeout and so Suarez is now 0 for 16 with 12 strikeouts. I thought when Wiley asked that she was going to say no stay but no get out of here. Speaking of get out of here Matt McClain is back to the dugout. That's already four strikeouts for sale. What will it be? 1-2 pitch. There you go. 99. Top shelf. Five strikeouts. He strikes out the side here in the second. All of them swinging. He knows what's at stake boys. Yeah. Swinging at a 3-1 fastball right in front of the track catch by Brito. And he has had a year-over-year difference of losing 25 run value points on that four-seam fastball. I would always do it at my locker. Taylor Cruz is 6'6 so he's able to take it away from the 6'5 Matt Olsen. You had a lot of spare time. Yeah. Now you don't. You're very busy now. If he can surpass Burleson in the final week that's not going to help his cause. He has struck out twice tonight. And he probably swings right over a slider. Or that. Or that. Yeah. Elevated. 98. Myers down on strikes. Runner takes off for second. They will throw down there. Got him. Got him. Yes. Baldwin with a good strike to get McClain. Only question is do the Reds want to take a look at it? We'll be ready to roll tomorrow though. Ozzie in the air over the right side. For the Braves to overtake the Dodgers. They would have to win the last five and the Dodgers would have to lose all five. So 2-2 swing and a miss. So Abbott for scoreless here against Atlanta so far tonight. Lifted to right. Hicklin going over and making the catch. Called strike. Is he going to challenge? He doesn't. Another 200 strikeout season for Chris Sale. The season for Chris Sale. We all know this. We don't want Frenchie to be your pitching coach. He wanted a slider here. Either. I mean it was a ball. The pitch that has gotten the most strikeouts for Madero's this year. Runner takes off. It's not going to matter. That also may have missed. Derek Thomas home plate umpire is a friend of Chris Sale and the Braves in the top of the six. And now the Braves try to get something going offensively and that this is going to be a routine fly ball off the bat of Drake Baldwin. Oh is that going to end the scoring drought deep to center there she goes. One for Madeo. Left center. Cabrera. He's got it and we have ourselves a tie ball game. Since mid-June now he did make one rehab appearance on Sunday and the final game for the Gwinnett Stripers. Hicklin going back. Bounce all the way back into the middle of the outfield and so it's an easy triple for McClain on the first pitch back here for Robert Suarez. But Wiley go ahead. Tapper and it's going to get over his head. Now the runner will not go home. So there is your first out. 2-2. Left field. Dubon charges. McClain tags. Throw to the plate. Who did that hit? Did that hit McClain? Yeah he dotted him. Base runner you're trying to maybe run into the line of the throw. Yeah. This looks strong it looked like he may have had a chance to get him but you're not allowed to hit guys in this league. Hit him on the side. Yeah if it's wiffle ball you're out. This should send us to the stretch. Well Robert Suarez is back and that is a good sign for the Atlanta Braves even though he gives up a run. And just a big adult arm came out of nowhere and caught it right in front of him. It's like the spring training autograph thing right? Center field. This might tie the ball game. Does it have enough juice? Yes. Riley leaves the yard. 2-2. Up in the zone he goes up and gets it. Here's my favorite part though when you get out to the outfield and you see Daymeier he had his arm out like he was calling for it like he had plenty of room but he ran out of room. It's just some Dover soul. Murphy change up swing and a miss. That's not going to do it for Kim. De La Cruz backing up and he will be the one to take it. Pitch number 100. High bouncer and Abbott does get through seven innings but Riley Homers to tie it up. We've seen a lot more of them here lately. Look at that. Sped him up 95 and Daymeier didn't have a chance. Swing and a miss. Iglesias back-to-back strikeouts. More than double year over year. Highest in baseball. He strikes out the side. 1-2-3. Take care of that machine in your hands. Those things are not cheap. Riley goes after the curveball. One down. All right. Swing and a miss. 96 from Pierce Johnson. Back-to-back strikeouts. I love how wild he was explaining himself and slowly faded out. Payoff pitch. A curveball. It was in the zone but it is popped to De La Cruz. We are destined for some free baseball in Atlanta on this Wednesday night. That's in there. That's a nice change up. That was beautiful. Cabrera is frozen. Kim has this. Good job right there. Playing in a wild card round but based on record that's how it should be. Bladet pitch hits. First pitch he sees. Pops to Ozzie. What a job by Brent Suter and the Braves will try to walk it off when we get back. This guy does have command issues. There's the bunt. That'll work. Kim out by a step. Man, you ain't lying. What a great bunt. It also had some serious backspin on it, man. Buried into the ground. Levers the walk-off winner and it went about 20 feet but it got the job done and the ball game is over. Pounded in the ground. Let the wheels take over. Kersey great speed. Never had a chance. May did everything he could but 3-2 is your final tonight.
