“I just think, please watch what’s going on in the field”.

Jason Hammel (7-5) allowed two runs in 6 1/3 innings. “I have to figure out how to pitch to lefties up here”. “It was the first time I felt like me in a while”. It was the rookie’s third multihomer game of the season and 19th of the season. “Anytime you can sweep one four-game series a year that is pretty good”. He is now winless in his last five starts. “We are going to get back on a good roll because (the starters) are healthy and not overextended”. “Both sides. The left handed (at-bats) are really coming up”. I remember in West Michigan, on field trip days, I’ve seen kids get hit.
Sale was more than willing to be the light post for his teammates to lean on Sunday against the cross-town Chicago Cubs.
3B Kris Bryant’s 17 home runs are the second most among rookies behind the Dodgers’ Joc Pederson, who has 23. He allowed three home runs and seven earned runs in a loss to the Tigers on Tuesday. I watch and you see people turning their back to the field when the action’s going on.
“He got an opportunity last night and did a nice job”, said Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez.
Ryan Lavarnway homered and Nick Swisher had a pair of RBI singles for the Braves.
Down and out: Russell left the game in the sixth after experiencing tightness in his groin.
Chicago is a season-high twenty games over.500, and just three wins from surpassing their entire win total of 2014. He is accepting his walks and he is really hitting the ball hard. The Cubs are 13-3 over the first 16 games of this Chicagofest.
When asked if extending the screen behind home plate was the answer, Maddon said, “I don’t know how that plays”.
The Braves pushed across one run in the seventh as Swisher picked up his second RBI with a two-out single that drove in Maybin to make it 9-3.
Hector Rondon threw just six pitches in notching his 23rd save, so he should be available for Sunday’s game. Hopefully, he won’t be out too long with the Cubs traveling to the West Coast after Monday’s make-up game against the Cleveland Indians later on today.
The incident occurred in the first inning. He entered Sunday with a. 452 on-base percentage since the All-Star break, which is third best in the National League….
