Marlins vs. Braves Game Highlights (4-15-26) - MLB Highlights

Here on April 15 Jackie Robinson day with everybody wearing number forty two as is the tradition today to honor Jackie whether you're in the dugout or on the field and the umpires as well have a patch on their hats so forty two is all over today as it should be. Away we go. There is a look at Bryce Elder as he's doing a very nice job compared to last year and Bryce Elder is off to a very nice start here in twenty six and Adam Beck ringing up Marcy. He is not going to challenge it and Bryce Elder starts with a little frozen pizza here on a Wednesday night. So a strikeout to the walk and now a hit by pitch. The Marlins have jumped out to leads pretty early in both of the first two games of this series and they're threatening to do it again here on this Wednesday night. Oh one to Hicks popped up towards center and medium depth center field. Michael Harris is there opens the glove makes the catch and two down here on the top of the first inning. So that is a big second out and now it'll be Connor Norby coming to the plate. Look at that slider down. Norby goes after it and Elder gets out of the jam. Thirty year old right hander Chris Paddock is on the hill for the Marlins tonight and Paddock has a pair of punch outs on two heaters. Look out Paddock I see you. Atlanta's left handed hitting first baseman two for seven with a triple against Paddock in his career as he lifts it shy of the track and left and Hernandez with a step on it makes the catch and the side is retired. Three straight strikeouts for Elder he has four in the game and now has to get Graham Pauley for a one two three inning and now the lefty with a bouncer toward the middle Dubon over and it's a one two three second for Bryce Elder. One out for Ozzie Albee he's mentioned this is the rubber game of the series. The Braves are three and 0 in rubber games this year. Ozzie to right field well struck Casey at the wall a solo trip to the Chophouse for Ozzie Albee. Fourth of the year for Ozzie to put the Braves in front. Ozzie getting the offense going let's see if Yaz can follow up and Yaz fights it off into right field that'll do. So now he's 10 for 24 in his career when facing Paddock. Dominic four for seven in the series including the bases clearing double last night that gave the Braves the win. Left field towards Hernandez and it gets down. Of course it does. Dom Smith just continues to hit in that Braves uniform Mauricio Dubon the batter runners at first and second three to pitch Dubon line drive base hit Tommy send it in Yaz and Yaz will score and it's two to nothing. We talked about the seven eight nine hitters CJ they're producing again you're right here goes the bottom of the order once again and now here's Harris bouncer to the right side and they'll only get the one. One of the things that Paddock has done extremely well in his career is that nearly six hundred innings he's only allowed 20 stolen bases. Michael takes off and he gets into second base so now you've got runners at second and third with two down. They've crushed it in these opportunities two outs runners in scoring position 313 this season. Swing and a miss. Gone with a changeup. Paddock allows a pair but that's all here in the second we'll go to the third it's two nothing Atlanta. Elder is not allowed a hit he's walked one he's punched out five and again a guy that really doesn't strike out too many came into the night with 16 strikeouts and 17 and two thirds he's already got a third of his season strikeouts through three and a third and that is called strike three on Hicks who will not challenge that is the sixth strikeout of the ballgame for Bryce Elder Connor Norby he struck out in the first inning this is hit in the air down the right field line that is a fair ball for Connor Norby. So his hitting streak is extended as he dives in safely at second with a two out double that is an eight game hitting streak for Connor Norby and the first hit for the Marlins tonight. So now Elder against Casey he puts it in play and Harris makes the catch and Elder giving up a double but no damage done. Second time he's gotten Hernandez and that's seven strikeouts for Elder he leads two to nothing. All he grounded to short his first time he has stung this out towards the gap in deep right center Acuna is not going to get there. Paul he's on the board with a one out double second hit of the night for Miami their second extra base hit and much to the delight of his mother. See if the Marlins can make something of this. Here is Davis and De Los Santos the bouncer left side DuBon charges off balance throw and De Los Santos is safe Wilson came off the bag he tried to apply a tag on the backside of De Los Santos Bray's will hold up play for a moment and Walt Weiss says play on must the lift on the tag attack it's an infield single for Davis and De Los Santos plate discipline from Jacob Marcy and now they're loaded and Jeremy Hefner figuring this is a good time to talk to Bryce Elder you get to this part in the lineup you got some really good speed in Edwards you got another really good contact hitter that means it's a tough double play situation and you feel like he's going to put the ball in play more than likely now it's OK where do we go I think that's what this conversation very likely is about it's been a good start to the season for Edwards chopper to short DuBon gets one and does not get the second a bang bang play at first do they want to review it yes they do there is hope Braves country this type of a game right now you knew was going to be tough. Well he runs he has hit in one double play so far this year but it's a change of direction and trying to get something on the throw it's the only way DuBon was going to be able to do it I think they got him I think they did C.J. another great Matt Olson stretch to make that happen man wow on the field is overturned 16 straight games with a double dip and a great play by DuBon to end the inning 10 or 0 sat down by Paddock since he gave up those four straight hits it's been a different pitcher Ronald would like to change that he's going to stand twice tonight and Acuna gets it between Pauly and Lopez for a single Clayton McCullough elects to take Chris Paddock out of the game after four and two thirds he had punched Drake Baldwin out twice but now he wants his ground ball specialist John King pitch swung on and hit right where the shortstop was into center field Acuna will make third he'll round third and hold there were that a sign for a hit and run it would have been perfect but with two outs Ronald was stealing Lopez went to cover and Baldwin hit it right where he was Matt Olson a chance to add to the lead here the fifth on a one two Olson takes strike three called brave strand a pair here in the fifth the Marlins need runs Lopez has been hit by a pitch and struck out Otto Lopez with a line drive base hit into center field to start this top of the sixth so that's three hits from the last five Marlins to bat to face Bryce Elder Hicks four for ten in the series could it be another double play on a second for one Hicks just beat it out Matt did all he could yet again so Hicks is the runner now and the batter is Norby and he grounds to third tough hop handled by Austin and Ozzie will get the out at second base but hang on to the baseball but there's two out and it looks like that is going to be it for Bryce Elder but an excellent outing tonight he leaves with a two to nothing lead after throwing five and two thirds all right so now you've got Lee pitching you also have Austin Slater coming in to pinch hit ball for Ross a six pitch walk off the bench and now it'll be a Roberto Hernandez his turn guy that can take it deep it's not at a home run yet yes he got him a slider and a slice of frozen pizza in the top of the six there's Austin Riley pretty cool Jackie Robinson batting gloves there for Austin Riley this one deep to left and it is a release of frustration for Riley he's got his first of the season that one had to feel good for Austin Riley and it puts the Braves on top three to nothing he wanted to get himself that tomahawk so bad he finally gets a chance one down in the bottom of the seventh Ronald with a single one for three Acuna out to the gap and left center slide and Hernandez cannot come up with it and Acuna to second base like Gary Berto got alligator arms the last second he's a little indecisive maybe got caught in the lights and already not all that thrill hoping the play would be made here's Baldwin swung on and sparked up the middle base it in the right center field Acuna coming around third base he'll try to the plate and score RBI single by Drake Baldwin it's a fist fry again for Drake Baldwin he is killing the Marlins Matt gave it a ride certainly was and this ball was smoked ball just kept carrying and you're hoping as Matt Olsen was that it was going to get over good swing but just a scary second out Matt Olsen up to the plate with a runner at first one out four nothing Braves Matt Olsen here for Matty O and that my friends was a no doubter as you mentioned as soon as he hit it everybody here knew it was out a laser to the chop house three home runs tonight for the Atlanta Braves it's a one-out single for Otto Lopez he's two for three it's Liam Hicks take the righty Beto this is rip tie and deep to right field headed back towards the wall and it's gone Liam Hicks his team leading fourth home run of the season the Marlins are on the board it's six to two here in the eighth turned and burned on that slider knee high over the middle part of the plate can't mess around anymore now here comes Robert Suarez first and third and one out and now Ariberto Hernandez is going to bat and the ground ball is hit softly out to short they go to second for one and all these drop the ball and everybody is safe a run scores in wouldn't you know it Nelly the tying run is about to come to the plate for the Marlins here in the eight so from six to nothing now six to three and Graham Pauly there's a double in this ballgame at the plate this could be two this should be two this is two four six three double played in the rally for the fish Ricella Iglesias save number 100 is a brave yesterday now he goes for number one oh one they head to Philly 12 and 7 atop the NL East
