The second inning went very similar to the first as he gave up a ground ball single and struck out another two batters. Wright’s third inning was less smooth as he gave up some baserunners who Jesse Biddle inherited and allowed to score http://www.metsfanproshop.com/authentic-tim-tebow-jersey , but five strikeouts in three innings when he didn’t have his best command is not too shabby.The Braves wasted no time in getting on the scoreboard as they went to work in the bottom of the 1st inning. Ender Inciarte led off with a double and Josh Donaldson drove him in immediately afterwards with an RBI single. After Freddie Freeman struck out, Ronald Acuna Jr. did Ronald Acuna Jr. things as he launched a two-run blast off of the scoreboard in centerfield to give the Braves a 3-0 lead. Acuna would finish his day going 2-2 with a walk, 2 RBI, and two runs scored.The second inning started out well for the Braves with Charlie Culberson getting on base with a double followed by a Dansby Swanson walk. Unfortunately, Ender Inciarte hit a ground ball that ended up being a triple play with Culberson getting thrown out at home. The third inning went better as Freddie Freeman got in on the fun as he hit a double. Ronald Acuna Jr., with pitcher Nick Kingham learning his lesson from the first time he came to the plate, drew a walk and then Nick Markakis drove Freddie in with an RBI single. Brian McCann sent Acuna home on an RBI groundout and the Braves found themselves with a 5-0 lead.After Biddle let some inherited runners score to make it a 5-2 game http://www.metsfanproshop.com/authentic-tim-tebow-jersey , Touki Toussaint came in for the Braves and pitched four scoreless innings. Touki gave up just two hits while striking out four batters before yielding to Sam Freeman who came on and struck out two batters in a clean inning of relief. The Braves would tack on another run in on a grounder from Tyler Neslony to make it a 6-2 lead which was more than enough to secure the win.

Certainly no blockbuster and there are some questions with him, but 9 million is not too steep a price for taking a chance.Dec 21, Parker Bridwell (SP) Acquired Off Waivers From NY YankeesBridwell was a victim (along with Jose Fernandez) of the Rule 5 Draft when he was DFA’d for the Angels to make room for Jose Suarez, Luis Rengifo, and Luis Madero. The Angels clearly were not done with him since they scooped him back up after the Yankees DFA’d him to make room for J.A. Happ.Dec 28 Jose Reyes Jersey , Jonathan Lucroy (C) Signed as Free Agent (one-year contract 3.35MM)Certainly no Ramos or Grandal, Lucroy had a 70 wRC+ and .241/.291/.325 slash line last year. He is not a great defensive catcher and his 30% caught stealing rate last year was a few ticks about his career mark of 28%.Jan 16, John Curtiss (RP) Traded from Twins for Daniel OzoriaEppler picked up another cheap bullpen arm with upside that has velocity but has struggled at the big league level.Jan 17, Cody Allen (RP) Signed as Free Agent (one-year contract $8.5MM with $2MM in incentives based on games finished)Eppler finally spent some money on a bullpen arm and it’s a closer. Allen wanted to close somewhere and he’ll get that chance with the Angels. Hopefully Allen is much better than his 4.70 and 0 WAR self from 2018.
