Braves Crush Rockies, Baldwin Shines

0:00On May 3rd, the Atlanta Braves crushed the Colorado Rockies 9-1, keeping their series streak alive. Prospect, Drake Baldwin stole the show with three hits, including a homer, and he drove in four runs early to set the tone. Chris Sale dominated on the mound, striking out 11 and seven strong innings for the easy win. Austin Riley looked sharp with a two run blast in the fifth, and Matt Olson added a solo homer, his 11th of the year, and number 299 in, his career. The opener strategy for Colorado backfire quick, and even a squirrel on the field couldn't distract from Atlanta's hot bats. Ronald O'Koon, Jr. left early, with left hamstring tightness after limping on the bases, but the Braves didn't miss a beat. Fans are buzzing about Baldwin's breakout night, he's been clutched all season driving and runs like that. Sale's been lights out since joining Atlanta, winning three of every four decisions, and this gem pushes his season highs. The bullpings close it out smooth, with Brett Sullivan grabbing extra hits to seal the deal.
