Big Red Zero

The Braves shutout out the Reds 5-0 Thursday afternoon to sweep their NL Wild Card series. This isn’t the first time the Reds offense played poorly in the post-season in this century. In 2010 they averaged 1.33 runs per game in three games. Probably the worst in recent history was the 2018 Rockies, who average 1.0 runs per game in four games.

Ian Anderson of the Braves pitched six strong innings, giving up two hits and two walks while striking out nine. Marcell Ozuna and Adam Duvall each hit two run homers to lead the offense.

The Braves await the winner of the Marlins at the Cubs. Today’s game was postponed due to weather, so Atlanta may need to wait a couple of days to discover their opponent.
