For 8 2⁄3 innings tonight, it was the Braves young battery of Tucker Davidson and William Contreras that were the shining starts in tonights game https://www.atlantagearshop.com/Austin_Riley_Pet_Jersey-202. However, it was another young player in the other dugout that stole the spotlight in the Phillies final at-bat that resulted in a heartbreaking loss for the Braves. Davidson actually experienced a bit of a rocky start. After the Braves went down in order in the top of the first inning facing Zach Eflin, Davidson worked around a out single and walk to keep the Phillies off the score board. Atlanta then decided to go to work in the top of the second inning, as an error, walk and single loaded the bases with not outs. Unfortunately, two groundouts and a strikeout followed, and the Braves could not make the most of an ideal opportunity early in the game. Davidson allowed two more singles in the bottom of the second, but he once again worked out of trouble unscathed. After plenty of early activity, both Eflin and Davidson found their grooves. In the third inning, Eflin worked around a single while Davidson did not let an error from Austin Riley do any damage. Both pitchers worked around a double from the opposition in their half of the fourth inning. In the fifth, Eflin used a double play to sit the Braves down in order while Davidson followed with a 1-2-3 bottom half of the inning Dansby Swanson Pillow Cover.
