Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 6, Nashville Sounds (Brewers) 4 — (7 inn.) The Norfolk Tides’ season opener was a wet and wacky one. For six innings, the Tides’ offense looked hopeless, garnering just two hits as they fell into a 4-0 hole. But the game flipped on its head in a wild, six-run bottom of the […]
Matt Quatraro talks about how they’ll handle catching duties between Carter Jensen and Salvador Perez. “We’ll go day to day with the catching, but Carter’s going to catch,” manager Matt Quatraro said. “He and Salvy are going to split — not evenly, 50-50, but game times, travel, the type of game one of them has […]
How great does it feels to win on Opening Day? Winning > Losing.

Winning Opening Day at home is fun. Hey, Opening Day at home is fun all by itself. First Opening Day win at home since 2018 and that Nick Markakis home run. The Braves needed to rally from down five runs that day. But they controlled last night from the jump. Chris Sale got double plays […]
Opening Day in Cobb County couldn’t have gone any better for the Atlanta Braves if they had scripted it themselves.

The Phillies opened the season with three pitchers on the injured list – Zack Wheeler, Orion Kerkering and Max Lazar.
