Braves will go for their fifth direct win on Tuesday, when they host St. Louis Cardinals, but the mound of Atlanta will not be good.
Atlanta opened a three-game chain with a 7-6 win on Monday, in which St. Louis suffered a fifth direct loss.
Braves had planned to give the second beginning to Spencer Storee since returning from Tommy John Surgery. But the right -handed batsman was placed back to the injured list after maintaining the right hamstring strain before Monday’s game.
Atlanta manager Brian Snightker said, “He was just playing the catch. Nothing was quick or strong.” “This is just a strange thing. You can do everything right – what he does – and still happens something.”
The severity of the injury will not be known until the sturder is revalved on Tuesday.
In his absence, the Braves will go with a bullet game. He did not announce a starter immediately after the series opener.
St. Louis will use the right-handed Andre Pallantte (2–1, 3.22 ERA). He is coming from a necklace for New York Met’s on Thursday, when he allowed four runs on seven hits with two strikes in six innings. Pallante conceded all the runs in the second innings, then settled to retire 12 out of the next 13 batsmen.
“I did some things towards the end,” Palnte later said. “The way I was mixing and executing my pitches, I liked it. I started loosening a little. I got some more velocity on my sinkar. Everything was a bit fast.”
Pallante has performed five career, but only one of them, against Atlanta, is going 0–1 with 12.15 ERA in 6 2/3 innings.
Brews’ crime produced two more Homer on Monday and hit 23 in the last 13 matches. After killing only six Homer in its first nine matches, Braves are now fourth in the National League with 29 domestic runs.
Austin Relay continues to feast against St. Louis Pitching. He hit his seventh in his last 12 matches against his sixth homer, cardinals and a long ball of his 10th career against St. Louis.
St. Louis found a lot of crime from under the order on Monday. Nolan Gorde, Pedro Page and Victor Scott II combined with four runs and three to 7 -for -12 with RBI. It was a homecoming for Scott, which grew up in the suburban Atlanta and never played against the brave.
Page and Scott held a three -run rally in the ninth innings that disappeared by about four runs. The first was a runner in cardinals when Nolan Arenado finished the game on a soft grounder in front of the plate.
“If you remove yourself from the result, which I am trying to do at this time, then people are moving towards something that is good,” said St. Louis manager Oliver Marmol, which was evacuated in the eighth innings to change the pitcher. “But to be in favor of losing again, it’s just disappointment. Some were very good to get within, but again, good baseball.”
