"What started as a pretty underwhelming showcase today with the Braves turned into a late win (3-2) as the lineup couldn't manage a hit to get on the board until the bottom of the seventh inning where Michael Harris II hit an RBI single to drive in Dalton McIntyre."
"Watch the 20-year old's improved command at the mound, along with his striking fastball amongst his arsenal that makes him a strong asset for the rotation. With eight total strikeouts in today's game, it's safe to say that this might be a gem that the team needs to key in on for the long-run."
The Braves secured a 3-2 victory over the Phillies despite a slow offensive start, not recording a hit until the seventh inning. Michael Harris II drove in the first run with an RBI single, and Luke Williams tied the game with a sacrifice fly. Ben Gamel scored the go-ahead run after a fielding error by Phillies third baseman Garret Grubs. Veteran pitcher Martín Pérez pitched 3.2 innings, allowing one run and six hits. The standout performance came from 20-year-old Didier Fuentes, who recorded eight strikeouts and demonstrated improved command and a striking fastball, positioning himself as a strong candidate for the Opening Day rotation and potentially Rookie of the Year consideration.
