Diamondbacks Crushed by Braves in 17-2 Blowout

0:00It's April 3rd. I'm Corey with the story, this is MLB News Today, driven by AI and Bill for baseball fans. The airs on a diamondback's got absolutely torched by the Atlanta Braze last night, dropping a wild 17-to-2 decision that saw the most runs. Score it against them since 2021. Was started as a tight 2-1 game through four innings exploded when Atlanta piled on eight in the fifth, then kept the rally going all the way. To the ninth, where catcher James McCann even took the mound for his first pitching stint of the season. Pitching was a nightmare from the jump, with starter ride Nelson surrendering early homers and walking too many before airs open the floodgates. Relievers like Kevin Ginkel and Joe Ross couldn't stem the tide either, combining for a bunch of runs and free passes while McCann gave up five more. Despite the Braves already leading 12-1. Fans are stunned after airs on his hot street got snapped. They just swept Detroit, but now sit at three and four, coughing up five or more runs in an end, ending during three of their last four games even while winning most of them.

1:05The D-Backs offense went ice cold, scraping just two runs on six hits against Atlanta's 16. Braves' bats were on fire, batting around twice with 11 of 12 guys driving in runs, including every starter. Arizona's first tally came off Jordan Lawler's initial, Big League Homer. The second on an RBI AA. They got three more matchups at Chase Field over the next three days before hitting the road, so the D-Backs better regroup quick to salvage this series.
