Tigers vs. Braves Game Highlights (6/19/24) | MLB Highlights

Everything has gotten better than expected here for Ronaldo Lopez and what the Atlanta Braves had planned for him giving him that opportunity to be in the rotation you can see that era got a great matchup today with two of the best in the game. But Ronaldo Lopez I'm not going to say he's been the biggest surprise but to this level what he has accomplished has been pretty impressive so far this season. I don't think anybody saw it coming. What's up Perez. Rookie leaves off for Detroit back from the left side balls cranked to left field and that's down for a base hit. It's a two to slider and Perez Perez is on to lead off the ballgame. Colt Keith stands in from the left side. First pitch he sees he sends out to Celtic and Jared Celtic reels it in one away and with one down and one on and no score Riley Green comes to the plate. Perez runs throw down to seconds not even close Wenzel Perez stole that off of Ronaldo Lopez. He did. He got a really good jump and Ronaldo Lopez took a little bit of time looking good there. Once again got Riley Green to go up top. Still got the runner on its second two away and now the cleanup hitter Mark Canha swinging a miss Lopez got it back to back strikeouts to end the top of the first Tarik Scoble will try to quiet them down as the Tigers really have throughout the series just four runs for Atlanta and will the Tigers ace have a win in the cards for Detroit on the way out. Jared Celtic back at the top of the order for Atlanta. Jared Celtic fly ball left field Akeel Badu is back warning track to make catch on another windy day here at the ballpark. It's blowing left to right and there is one away. Ozzie had a big solo home run in the eighth inning of game one. One to ride through the right side. There's a single for Ozzie Albies with one out control not good here to Ozuna and the Braves have something brewing in the first. And now Matt Olsen digs in from the left side second base side and Colt Keefe makes the catch. I wonder I wonder what if that ball does drop you're probably not going to get to but you might get everybody running around like third grade soccer defense. Austin said a great homestand adding five hundred with three home runs and eight driven in low inside and hit him. Where did that catch him. So Scoble throw one up inside at the face of Marcelo Zuniga and he hits Riley here base is loaded. So an opportunity here Tarek Scoble has not been put in many of these situations this year on the ground a shortstop McKinstry deep in the hole. Let's have a rap. God damn it is gymnastically saves the inning for Scoble a guy that doesn't play that often over at first base just came up with a wonderful scoop to hopefully get Tarek Scoble out of this inning ruling on the field stands the runner is out. Yes that is truly a brilliant athletic play by Andy Ibanez and McKinstry to get it there. I'm third of the order for Atlanta here starting with Murphy. A swing look pretty good right there for Sean Murphy takes a knuckle curve out to left field for a single one down to Ramone Laureano coming up Laureano gets his first hit off of Scoble. Good timing to one with one out here in the second inning for Atlanta. He just telegraphed the heck out of that change up. And by that I mean he kind of slowed his leg kick and delivery down and sent a little message to Ramone that something off speed was coming and he nailed that change up to two popped up on the infield and that's the infield fly rule out number two as Keith comes in. All these a single last inning now a chance here in the second to left field by do over he won't get there. Braves are going to grab the lead in the second inning. Ozzie all these with an RBI single one to nothing talk about attacking Tarek Scoble early. Obviously that was a curveball that was in the middle of the plate when he has gotten hurt especially against good lineups. It was regardless of pitch type in its balls in the middle of the plate. Dangerous hitter at the plate Austin Reilly is that thing going to drop. But who comes a long way but he can't glove it. Austin Reilly is going to go to second and have a double third double of the series for Reilly. That's a beauty right there because it looked like Boudou had this baseball he had gotten there and laid out. Wasn't a great route but he got there. And in the glove and yeah the ground caused the fumble. He couldn't quite squeeze it. So Reilly in scoring position and now Adam Duvall wave and a miss strike three. He went back to the breaking ball in the zone. He got the swing and miss and there are two down. Now this will be interesting to see how he pitches Murphy. He gave up a base hit on an off speed pitch his last time around. Let's see if he just tries to blow him away. Now Reilly still out at second base one two from Scoble lifted to right center field. That baby is gone. With a match and it has a three to nothing lead in the third. Yeah it's a change up that just stays up and out over the plate. Sean Murphy does a good job of staying back behind it hitting it hitting it's where it's pitched and ends up hitting that home run to right center field. If that ball's down I think that's it's again it's not the pitch selection. It was just probably not located where Terrence Scoble would have wanted. So a pair of singles two on it. And now here's Badou Laureano over so Badou hits it well nothing to show for it and the Tigers strand to to the home half of the fourth Atlanta enjoying a three to nothing lead first pitch off the bat of Laureano is lifted to left center field and Ramone Lora has his first homer in a Braves uniform and it's four to nothing. He got a hold of that one for twenty six. That was fun to watch. Ninety five on our fastball that he turns around at one hundred and six and Laureano's dealt with some injuries and some lack of production over the last couple of years. But when he has been healthy early in his career he has been special. Scoble has made it at least five innings in every start this season. But the Braves threatening to knock him out a little earlier four to nothing lead to one. And now look at the throw to third is wide as he was going to steal it anyway. But then Scoble will get charged with an air Ozzie will score and it's five to nothing. That's tremendous timing. You get a guy who is rattled a little bit and especially when you have the left handed pitcher. If you're going to try to steal third it's a little bit easier to do it against lefties. Likely the last inning here for Lopez trying to finish off another fantastic outing. He has shined in a lot of ways has Ronaldo Lopez this year. B.O. Eighty two batting average against with runners in scoring position and teams have had opportunities. He has shut them down. He'll try to do it again here with Canada Bader. He got him right there. Denny's can argues but he has no argument. He's done some frozen pizza to finish off the afternoon for Mr. Lopez. He's been sensational all year for Atlanta. Start to the fifth inning for Atlanta. Here's one of the day's heroes from earlier. Sean Murphy's two for two. This ball is hit high and deep to left. Murphy has left the building again to run homers for the Braves catcher and Atlanta has opened it up. It's seven to nothing. But do is the batter. All the way out to Matt Olsen. It's also a strikeout by the way that's of even more importance and bummer just a single and nothing else at the top of the set. One down a Marconi coming up ground ball to third backhand and pick up by Riley off balance throw to first dugout on a short hop by Olsen. Great play both sides. Two down to pitch and he blows it by him. Urshela is down Hernandez with a really nice one two three top of the two away. Here in the night. Ozzie's got it. A sweep and a shutout to finish off the homestand seven to nothing the final and a great homestand. It was after that rough road trip that they had the three city trip.
