Virtually Atlanta’s only offensive highlight. Freddie Freeman launched his 11th home run of the season in the first inning to put the Braves up 1-0.

Mike Foltynewicz wasn’t dialed in but he kept the Braves in the game allowing five hits and two runs over five innings. He struggled a bit with his fastball command but as you can see below, his slider was as advertised.
Now you see it.
