Braves vs. Cubs Game Highlights (9_3_25) _ MLB Highlights

Cade Horton since the All-Star break. He has been one of the best pitchers forget about rookies One of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball this guy's figuring it out right now as he's progressing Understanding what it takes for him to continue to get more and more success each time He goes out there, so it's fun to watch and if he throws strikes with his fastball tonight. He's gonna dominate again He's just got that kind of stuff Swing and a miss and Horton eats him up three pitches in and out And Acuna is gone. So Horton with the strikeout to begin and here's Olsen six foul balls And here is pitch number ten What a hard-earned walk for the Braves first baseman Matt Olsen Here is Ozzie Albee's stumping in switch hitter batting left-handed bounces to second corner goes to second one Swanson at first and not in time You have a couple of Rookie of the Year candidates spacing off right here. Here comes the 2-1 Lifted to left playable for half angling back making the catch near the track straightaway left Cade Horton puts a zero on the board in the first inning elder is a guy that's had his ups and downs this year and Kind of a four pitch guy, but three pitches really for him He's given up a lot of gopher balls the wind today is blowing out It should be a very good day for the Cubs offense today Elders gonna spin the ball a little bit but a couple breaking balls decent fastball But you know 91 92 is where he's gonna top out with his heater Line towards center Harrison to the gap He's got Michael Bush righty lefty matchup on the one to fandom swung on and missed at a fastball Good job by elder bearing that fastball into the left-handed batter No score bottom of the first the batter Seagal Suzuki one one line shot taken on a bounce by Kim He's got it cleanly sends it over to first base And there's a one two three bottom of the first composed by Bryce Elder Marcel Ozuna with that distinctive batting stance wide open right-handed hitter ready to to Swing and a miss struck him out He went change up right on right. It was filthy Two out spaces clear as Cade Horton goes to work here the top half of inning number two popped up foul behind the plate with wiring and he's got it in half Had gone 16 games with one run batted in he's now gone Six straight games with at least one RBI. It's the longest streak of his career. It's one lifted in the year Big turn for hat as a throw comes back in and then the throw gets away into the camera Well, and it'll get 90 feet It'll be an e7 and actually hat's gonna get two bases because of that Sure, Eli's kicking himself and maybe even cussing himself after that throw Well, the last thing you want to give any major league team is extra outs, but especially this one Yeah hard hit but Matt Olsen stops it And that keeps half at third base that was a bullet and Alex Deans be Swanson So these these are type the runs that you need early in the game. Calm K down a little bit Put a run on the board three two on the corner strike three Dansby tried to sell the walk, but Malakai Moore had other ideas So it's up to Willie Castro now with two out half at third Cubs looking to strike first This is one of those momentum at-bats. It looked for sure like the Cubs would get on the board and they still might I'm getting that run in the second inning. Let's see if Cade Horton can hold on to the lead and win his 10th game Swing and a miss and he just got Eli White Three pitches third strikeout and it's gonna be out number two Swing and a fly ball deep right center will hit back goes Castro near the fence. Well, he makes a running catch Very nice play by the utility man Willie Castro and McGuire goes to third And now let's see if Suzuki can drive in a run Elder spins it up there and a fly ball to deep right field Ronald Acuna over to his left Drifting back edge of the warning track makes it over the shoulder catch and there's the third out Cade Horton will get back to work His face is Matt Olsen here top of the fourth Next pitch in there got him and Olsen is gone And that is strikeout number four for Cade Horton one away in the batter Ozzie all these here's a two-two And a swing and a miss struck him out back-to-back strikeouts Hubs lead one to nothing in the batter Drake Baldwin the 1-1 line Dansby He steals a hit from Baldwin on the full layout You could make a pretty long highlight reel just on the plays He's made in the last seven or eight games run. He's been Incredible Braves CJ you look at they don't have any hits, but they've had some hard hit balls tonight off of Cade Horton So two down. Here's the shortstop Ha Sung Kim Swing and a miss and he struck him out five scoreless. No hit innings for Cade Horton So far Braves goose eggs all over the scoreboard haven't even gotten a hit yet Off Cub starter Cade Horton, but because he's pushing his in an innings limit for the season He's out of the game after five no hittings on to relieve him the right hander Ben Brown One out one on back to the top of the order for Ronald Acuna jr. Second strikeout for Brown and that's a biggie Not out of the woods yet. However, Braves still looking for their first hit with two outs in the sixth inning strike three for to end the inning Bullseye for Brown he hit the outside corner Cubs one Braves nothing into the top of the seventh inning Braves in search of their first hit of the game To this point a combined no hitter between two Cubs pitchers as he's over to the no-no is no more first tip for the Braves comes to the seventh inning off the bat of Ozzie all beats and Leave it to Ozzie who's put together good numbers in his career in this ballpark And they're at the corners with two down one of the newest Braves Ha Sung Kim climbing in But a base hit right here ties the contest What a first impression for the newest brave That's what we're missing a little power out of the shortstop position there how nice to see a brave hitter Rewarded for some hard contact here tonight Braves have come alive here in the seven though. He's in scoring position That brings not Joe Alvarez up to the plate to tune a flare to right field that will drop in for a hit Eli burning a path around third coming across and scoring Not Joe Alvarez dunks one in the right and makes it for one Braves in the seven work on Matt Olson lefty against lefty My goodness what a play Yeah, that look on. Yeah, Roger's face says it all I mean get out of here. There's Ozzie all bees just got pop This might be another homer Ozzie all bees deep to left and it's gone His second of the series He is swinging a hot bat right now, and he gives the Braves a four-run cushion And the Cubs still alive two on two out Carlos Santana will step to the plate 5-1 Braves. We're in the night. There comes a crowd payoff pitch Strike three Santana frozen ball game over Braves win They end the road trip on a high note five to one the final at Wrigley
