Carlos Carrasco obtained his second victory in a row in the campaign and surpassed 100 victories in his career. The Venezuelan worked for six innings, with three runs allowed. Until the top of the fifth inning, the Creole kept a streak of 22.2 innings of mound work no race allowed. Although he saw this streak cut short, it is the longest string of blank entries of his career.
The noob Michael Harris II hit him with a hit to put the Atlanta Braves’ first run on the marker. Next, Ronald Acuña Jr. drove him in with a long shot through the center field of Citi Field.
