Braves Dominance from the Start 
️
What a game, Braves fans! From the very first inning, it was clear that our Braves were locked in and ready to take care of business. In the top of the 1st, our pitchers showed who's boss, striking out Tommy Pham and Michael Massey while forcing Bobby Witt Jr. to fly out. Way to set the tone early! 
Patience Pays Off 
While the first couple of innings might have looked like a pitcher's duel, our persistence paid off in the bottom of the 4th inning. After Jorge Soler singled and Ramon Laureano grounded into a fielder's choice, Sean Murphy came to the plate and blasted a homer to left field, giving us a 2-0 lead and energizing the entire stadium. Go, Murphy! 
Defensive Masterclass 
Our defense was also on point, continuously keeping the Royals from getting any momentum. Witt Jr. tried to get things going for Kansas City, but our fielders kept making the necessary plays, whether it was Gio Urshela at third or Orlando Arcia at shortstop. It was a team effort through and through. Insurance Run Seals the Win 
In the bottom of the 8th inning, it looked like we might add to our lead when Marcell Ozuna walked. Despite a couple of outs, mistakes by the Royals' catcher allowed Ozuna to score and extend our lead to 3-0. Every little bit helps, and that extra run gave us even more breathing room.Final Shutout 
The Braves' pitching staff closed the game spectacularly. Luis Garcia came in to pinch-hit but was struck out. Pham grounded out, and though Witt Jr. walked and Massey doubled to add some late-game drama, our reliever Raisel Iglesias came in to finish off the Royals with a flyout from Salvador Perez. Clinching the win with style!Kudos to all our boys in blue for a fantastic display of baseball! Let's keep this momentum as we go into the next game! Go Braves!
