It takes most of the best parts of Capcom's iconic franchise and redeploys them in a way that's accessible and fun with a whole lot less baggage. This team, put simply, is awesome.If you stripped Monster Hunter down to its core components and redesigned it as a free-to-play (but not pay-to-win), online-only game, you'd get something very close to Dauntless. This was a phenomenal game in a phenomenal series in a phenomenal season. This swarthy crew will head on down to Miami for their final three games, where they’ll look to put an exclamation point on an amazing season before hopefully enjoying some well-deserved rest. With a two-game lead in the division and the head-to-head tiebreaker in tow, the Braves will clinch the NL East and a first-round bye with either one win, or a Mets loss to the Nationals. Nimmo grounded out to Swanson at short, Lindor hit a weak bouncer to Olson at first, and McNeil hit a hard liner, but right to Acuña, who caught it on the track and emphatically pumped his fist to underscore the Braves’ domination of the Mets in this series. Kenley Jansen, another three-day-in-a-row-er, had a soul-cleansingly easy ninth inning, needing just seven pitches to end the game. A.J Minter also allowed a leadoff single in the eighth, but erased it on a double play ball to end the inning. Raisel Iglesias, working a third game in a row, allowed a leadoff single to McNeil but nothing else. ![]() After that, it was all Braves bullpen, all the way. That actually capped the scoring, though we didn’t know it at the time. Matty MAMMO! | #ForTheA /ND5EGw6LsX- Atlanta Braves October 3, 2022 Seth Lugo had come in and worked a scoreless fifth, but Matt Olson greeted him with another dinger in the sixth: When he walked Brandon Nimmo with two outs, he was lifted for Collin McHugh, who struck out Lindor on three pitches to send the game onwards. Dylan Lee was first out of the chute and easily got two outs, and then two more in the top of the sixth. ![]() It wasn’t a good start, but it was plenty good enough tonight.Īfter Morton departed, well, the vaunted and apparently dauntless Atlanta bullpen went to work. Morton finished the game with 4 1⁄ 3 innings, a 5/1 K/BB ratio, and two more longballs allowed. After Morton allowed a one-out single to Escobar in the fifth, though, the Braves decided that at that point enough was enough, lifting him before facing Vogelbach a third time. The Braves also went down in order against May. That was it for Bassitt, and for the rally, as Trevor May came on and got Marcell Ozuna to pop out.ĭespite facing the lineup a third time for the fourth, Morton raised some eyebrows and then eased some bile ducts by having a 1-2-3 frame. ![]() October baseball! #ForTheA /zNOqkh85DP- Atlanta Braves October 3, 2022 Up came Travis d’Arnaud, who hung tough for seven pitches despite starting 0-2, before garnering the good fortune of a weak grounder nowhere near any Mets infielders, that turned the game around: Bassitt then plunked Austin Riley, and his command continued to deteriorate, as he then walked Olson to force in a run. Swanson then barreled yet another ball off Bassitt, but this one died in center, allowing both runners to move up. started the rally with an opposite-field grounder single and an eight-pitch walk, respectively. Morton escaped further damage with a popout, a strikeout, and then a groundout, but the Braves had their work cut out for them.įortunately, they’ve been very good at completing their work this series, and Chris Bassitt was struggling even worse than Morton. That put runners at the corners and made it a 3-1 Mets lead. Vogelbach was back up, but Morton was left in the game to allow a weak roller that got past Matt Olson but probably shouldn’t have. The next two batters both singled, and alarm bells were likely going off somewhere. ![]() For the second straight frame, a left-handed batter (Morton’s kryptonite this year) popped off on Morton, this time in the form of Jeff McNeil. Morton later allowed a couple of singles, but ground Francisco Lindor down into a strikeout for the third out.Īfter a leadoff walk went nowhere against Bassitt in the bottom of the second, the Braves stuck with Morton despite a tough inning. Morton was nowhere near as fortunate in the second or much of the rest of the game, though: Daniel Vogelbach got a 2-0 cutter to lead off the top of the next half-inning and smashed it into right-center to tie the game. That homer came a frame after Charlie Morton stifled a two-out rally by striking out Eduardo Escobar on four straight curveballs.
