Atlanta Braves were crushed in the opener of his series against athletics, but was the absence of Star Right Fielder Ronald Ekuna Junior.
Ekuna excluded the game with the rigor of the lower-peeth on Tuesday, and Braves are expecting to return the former National League MVP in the lineup on Wednesday night, when they face athletics in West Sacramento, California.
AS was scratched by Acuna, about 50 minutes before the start of a 10–1 loss, who killed five homer in a three-game slate opener.
The five-time all-star said that when he was feeling a twing a few hours before the first pitch, when he was working outside.
“The first day of every series is Jim Day for me,” Ekuna said through a translator after the competition. “I was there and made a movement and felt like it tightened me.”
Dard stopped Ekuna from batting practice and led to the removal of the lineup later.
Atlanta manager Brian Snightkar later said, “He treated her the whole game.” “We will see how he (Wednesday) is.”
Injury time is not ideal.
The all-star game in Atlanta is on next Tuesday, and is a starter for the Ekuna National League. He has also been slated to participate in Monday’s Home Run Derby.
However, Acuna did not want to see much further.
“I think we need to take it day to day and see how I feel,” said Ekuna. “My first priority is capable of re -connecting the team and helping people on the field.”
Brave can definitely use help. Monday’s necklace was in his fifth and 10th in 12 matches in a line as he fell in the worst 12 games of a season below 500.
A is concerned about A’s own injury as the American League, All-Star Shortstop Jacob Wilson maintained a left-arm fusion and had to come out when hitting a pitch at the bottom of the first innings.
X-rays were negative and Wilson will be reevaluated on Wednesday.
Lawrence Butler took two homer and Nick Kurtz took his first career Grand Slam as Athletics took a 9–0 lead after two innings. All-star Brent Rooker and Max Munsi also deepened.
Butler’s first homer was an inner–worker before the first leadoff spot of the franchise, when Elmer Valo changed the trick for Philadelphia A on 25 June 1943. Butler’s drive became high from the wall in the right-center and ricocheted on the right.
“When I hit it, I did not think I felt good,” Butler said. “But I was looking at the right fielder and he was looking at the center fielder as if he did not know where the ball was. Then I saw the center fielder and he did not even go, so I was like this ‘maybe it’s a home run.’
“Then I saw that the ball hit the ground and jumped and I like it ‘I got to score.” It was a crazy drama. ,
The Bryus Alder (2-6, 5.92 ERA) will begin on Wednesday of Braves and fellow right-handed Mich Spenses (2-4, 4.06) A of A.
Elder lost to Los Angeles Angels last Thursday when he gave four runs and eight hits in five innings in a 5–1 La win. Elder started a career against A, thrown seven innings and gave a run in a final 2–1 defeat on May 30, 2023. He took a no-nine.
Spens served three Homer on July 2, losing Tampa Bay rays 6-5. He allowed four runs and seven hits in five innings.
Spens never faced the brave.
