In the first half, we saw Harris struggle for the first time in his major-league career. Anything other than an A+ would be blasphemous. He’s the engine of a Ferrari the guy who gets the whole thing started.

Acuna leads all National League players in WAR, OPS, and steals. He’s made MLB history on a number of occasions and is tracking towards the first 40+ homer and 70+ steal season ever. There’s nothing I can say about Acuna’s first half that hasn’t already been said. In this series, I’ll be grading each player based on their performance to this point, beginning with the outfield.

RHP Charlie Morton (8-6, 3.57 ERA) will pitch the opener. Naylor is expected to play Friday against Kansas City.īraves: Following an off day, begin a three-game series Friday against the Rays. Francona said Naylor might be available to pinch-hit. He took some swings in the batting cage before the game.

Guardians: 1B Josh Naylor (right wrist tendinitis) was not in the starting lineup for the second straight day. He wouldn’t reveal the next step for the right-hander other than to say he’ll travel with the team to Tampa. Manager Brian Snitker only said “good” when asked how Fried was feeling. Last year’s Cy Young Award runner-up hasn’t pitched for Atlanta since May 5. Ron Pruitt (1979) and Ted Easterly (1910) also played both positions.īraves: RHP Max Fried (elbow soreness) came through his second live batting practice session without any issues.

Three of the hits were not particularly hard, but found their way into the outfield. The Braves struck early against Quantrill, scoring four in the first on four consecutive singles and Eddie Rosario’s two-run double.

Quantrill allowed a career-high 11 hits in 4 1/3 innings, not what manager Terry Francona was looking for with his bullpen needing a break. Michael Tonkin (5-2) relieved Soroka and worked 3 1/3 scoreless innings. He missed the past two seasons after tearing an Achilles tendon. But the right-hander was pulled with two outs - after 99 pitches - and didn’t qualify for the win. They finally pushed across a run with two outs in the ninth, earning a sarcastic cheer from their fans.īraves starter Michael Soroka was staked to a 4-0 lead after one and was up 5-0 in the fifth. The Guardians had plenty of chances, but couldn’t come up with timely hits and stranded 11 runners - two apiece in each of the first five innings.
