Reds vs. Braves Game Highlights (4/12/23) | MLB Highlights

[@joelvasa]

Mr. Flamethrower is on fire🔥

[@huntercraft7499]

Hillard is smart when sliding. He grips the base and holds on tight to keep from sliding off

[@YusukeKnight]

Nice win for the Braves tonight

[@WilliamtheWorst]

This team never seems to be out of a game. Go Braves!

[@kcaustin904]

OZUNA WOULD BE A GOOD FIT FOR THE AUGUSTA GREENJACKETS

[@sonnikdoh2510]

If Strider can get that control down he will be a beast. I love his enthusiasm. Good Win Braves.

[@jeremiah_12]

What’s up with our pitchers having like 70 pitches through four innings or some other inefficient number? I know we have a good pen but our pitchers don’t do 7 or 8 innings anymore.

[@Crushkirkland]

@@jeremiah_12 he’s a strike thrower sometimes that happens especially when his velo is down a tick. The reds were just throwing their bats at it tonight. But even on an off night for him he kept us in the game

[@acgonzales7]

@@jeremiah_12 Shuster and Dodd are rookies; Wright probably returned one game too soon; Charlie is almost 40 but always struggles in April; and Strider is lowering his velo the first few innings to try to go longer, but it's having the reverse effect. Hopefully he scraps that approach and just throws gas.

[@jasonsonanstine]

I believe Sam Hilliard has earned his spot. Once Money Mike is back hillsides becomes the everyday LF Rosario and D’arnaud share the DH position. Ozuna designated for assignment see yeah

[@timsh0e03]

I really like Hilliard's speed too.

[@donaldbetheljr1568]

Let's go braves from the bahamas 🇧🇸 🙌 👏 💪 😀 💙 🇧🇸

[@SoundFX09]

Notes From the Game: - Spencer Strider didn't have his Best Outing, But was able to get past the 5th. He Finished with 5 Innings of 4-Hit, 3-Run Ball, Walking 2 and Striking Out 9. It's a No Decision, but he Persevered through it, and that's enough for me. + Credit to the Bullpen AGAIN though for making sure the Game NEVER got out of hand. Three Pitchers worked to finish the Final 4 Innings, Giving up just 1 Run on 2 Hits, Walking 2 and Striking Out 5. Kirby Yates gets his first WIN of the Season, Getting through the 8th with 1 Walk and 1 Strikeout. ROTATION TOTAL: 9 Innings, 4 Runs, 6 Hits, 4 Walks, 14 Strikeouts, No Home Runs Allowed. Despite going 3-14 with Runners in Scoring Position (RISP), the Braves YET AGAIN HAD THE WILL TO WIN! + Acuna with a BIG Night! 3-4 with 2 RBI Singles, and a Double, tallying 3 RBIs in Total. Acuna stands in with a .370 Average with an OPS of .989! + Sean Murphy Continues to get Cooking! a 1-4 Night with an RBI Double in the 3rd. Murphy holds onto a .219 Average, But his OPS has climbed to .843! + ROSARIO IN THE CLUTCH! 2-4 with a Double and the GAME-DECISIVE SOLO SUPER MISSILE IN THE 8TH! Rosario clings to a .229 Average, .641 OPS, and 1 Home Run on the Year! - HUNTER GREENE, WTF?!! He WHACKS Orlando Arcia in the Hand with a 98 MPH FASTBALL! THANK GOD the X-Rays Returned NEGATIVE. We'll continue to monitor Arcia's Health, but I wouldn't be surprised if he either takes a Short Stint on the IL.... AND HE WAS WHITE HOT, TOO! + OTHER NOTABLES: Austin Riley had a 2-Hit Night with a Walk, While Ozzie had just 1-Hit, and Hilliard Had One Walk. Adrianza, Olson, and Ozuna were unable to get on base Tonight, with Ozuna's Average Dropping to an ALARMING .083. + Once Again, NOT the prettiest result tonight, BUT A SWEEP IS A SWEEP! All that Blind Effort from the Directionless and Incompetently Run Cincinnati Reds, And what did that get them? Being Forced to Walk Back North on I-75 EMPTY--HANDED. I'll take a sweep anyway it's earned! + The Mets and Marlins Won Today, While Philly and Washington LOST. This Keeps the Braves 2 Games Ahead of New York, 3 Games of Miami, While Pushing Philly and Washington Back to 4.5 and 5 Games Behind Respectively. What's Next? There will be NO Rest for the Clueless Reds, as while they will return to (Not-So) Great American Ballpark, awaiting them will be the Braves' Most BITTER Rival: The Philadelphia Phillies. Bailey Falter will take the Rubber for the Phils, who is coming off a Decent Outing against these same Reds, giving up just 1 Run on 4 hits over 5 Innings in a Winning Effort Last Saturday. The Reds will Counter with Nick Lodolo, Who Shutdown the Phillies over 7 Hits, allowing only 3 Hits and 2 Walks while Striking Out 12, Yet getting a NO-Decision! Can the Reds Lick their Wounds and Rebound at Home with a Win? Or will the Phils find another way of extending the Reds Misery? We will find out at 6:40 P.M. EDT on NBC Sports Philadelphia+ (Phillies) and Bally Sports Ohio (Reds). This Game will also be FREE to watch on MLB.TV! The Braves will get a Day to Rest before taking off on a 6-Game Roadtrip, starting with a 3-Game Series in Kansas City to Battle the Royals in an Interleague Matchup! Brady Singer will step up to the mound for the Royals, who looks to shake off a ROUGH Start in San Fran, where he was Tagged for 5 Runs on 8 Hits in 6 Innings, yet getting a No-Decision. Meanwhile, CHARLIE MORTON will take up Battle Stations for the Braves, Who Battled against the Padres in a Losing Effort, giving up 3 Runs (2 Earned) on 6 Hits in 5 Innings, Yet only receiving 1 Run of Support. Can Morton and the Braves Add another 4-Game Win Streak to the Ledger? Or will the Royals find a way to Spoil the Start to the Road Trip? We will find out Friday at 8:10 PM EDT / 7:10 PM CDT on Bally Sports Kansas City (Royals), Bally Sports Southeast (Braves), and MLB Network (International)! SoundFX09, Signing Out!

Really love these write-ups. Please keep them coming!

[@greencat1849]

^Same here

[@chriss.2978]

thank you for this :)

[@johnr.seydel3821]

Really impressive write up. This deserves more attention. Thank you

[@kennybryant3590]

Great job on the game summary lot of good info please continue

[@jeffarmfield2346]

Lovin the fight in this team so far this year, they never quit!

[@tlukewinder6433]

Ozuna is such a hot or cold hitter. He will either strike out 3 times or hit 2 homers in a game. We need a more consistent batter than him at the end of the order. On another note bring up Grissom please.

[@foxhallww311]

Rosario is returning to his 2021 form. Love to see it.

[@johnr5224]

Anybody else notice they said top of the first in top of the second

[@joeroshau5742]

GO, Braves!!

[@starpawsy]

Great to see such a game where the lead changes hands almost every innings.

[@robertearls7655]

Braves only lead when Rosario hit the hr everything is off right now

[@jamesmoss3424]

Great Braves win.😀👍⚾️

[@Bloodreign1]

Great win, but the starters must be better. Yes, Strider struck out 9, but threw a TON of pitches in the first and 3rd innings. Bullpen's getting a ton of work, but no need to overwork them this early in the year.

[@TheCornChili]

Strider woke up after the mound visit in the 3rd I think it was and then returned to his dominance wright will get better he just needs a few more starts to get his rhythm back fried will be back from the injured list probably next week which will likely see shuster and Dodd permanently in triple A except for double headers and elder has been great. The braves also have their starting cf a top reliever and the closer on the injured list. All of these issues should be sorted in a month at the latest and despite all of them the braves currently hold the best record in the NL

[@Joacquin123]

Exactly!! 💯 Got to keep a nice calm pace especially this early ... Gotta save some juice for the playoffs.

[@rodangelomonterogomez5040]

Valientes Bravos vamos..... Go Braves

[@cheogt4623]

So nice to see Acuña on fire, last year was so sad see him trying to recover his timing.

[@maryhaston4960]

Oh, nice/ good game for the Braves win, Oh first Home Run!! and Good video

[@charlesjohnson536]

LET'S GO BRAVES!! ..

[@sethhooper1183]

Can we just get ozuna off the roster

[@greencat1849]

Can we just call up Grissom to DH...might as well be getting him at MLB at bats and not roll out an automatic out everyday with Travis on the IL

[@cameronmadsen567]

He better get ready to learn Chinese

[@Gregoman89]

Harris returns to center, Hilliard who is playing great learns to play left and Ozuna gets his papers….

[@sonnikdoh2510]

@@Gregoman89 I like it.

[@atlmonster_6237]

but hes Ozuna from the Braves 😂😂

[@jamisontaylor2103]

Go Braves Baby We Swept The Reds

[@treydavis-ko2np]

Does Ozuna just do coloring books during practice and the off-season I mean someone remind this dude he's supposed to make contact with the baseball

[@peachmario753]

Braves def. Reds 5-4!!!! ⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾ Braves swept the Reds 3-0!!!!! ⚾⚾⚾ At the Bottom of the 2nd Inning, Ronald Acuna Jr. #13 (OF) smashes a 2-Run RBI Single and at the Bottom of the 7th Inning, Ronald Acuna Jr. #13 (OF) smashes an RBI Single...again and at the Bottom of the 8th Inning, Eddie Rosario #8 (LF) belted a go-ahead Solo Home Run shot as the Braves win in a 5-4 winning game victory over the Cincinnati Reds!!!!!!!!!!! ⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾

[@chipper92]

What was this camera man doing on Rileys slide at home. Dude needs to be serving hotdogs.

[@MICKEY4356]

The ball had eyes. 👀

[@ryan1303a]

Hilliard has got some wheels

[@Scootapuff88]

I'm convinced I could hit at a better pace than Ozuna's 3-36 and I only have one eye

[@kylegrunert22]

This team has been finding ways to win in late innings but this starting pitching hasn’t been pretty this year.

[@chriss.2978]

Acuna can carry the team if he has to, but let's not make a habit of it. Time to sweep the Royals next.

[@ShoeLessJoseph]

I was hoping they’d show the balk that negated the strikeout of Fraley

[@nicholusevans5836]

Ozuna hopefully is gonna come around.

[@tracycase4520]

Like the aggressive base running. Pitching still sketchy.
