The first two weeks of the season should not go like this for Atlanta Braves and Tampa Bay Rays, who were accustomed to winning and competing in the season.
If the first results are any indicator, they can spend plenty of leisure in October.
Clubs will start a three -game interleague series at Tampa on Friday night.
On Thursday, the host Atlanta was 2-1 in the 11th shot against Philadelphia Phillies, but Braves bifted two conditions for a Homer for 4-2 wins to the Marcell Ozuna. Teams, after the sixth bottom connected to the game 1, a 2 -hour, 45 -minute rain delay endured.
Even with winning, Braves only 3-9 to start the campaign in terms of running. The former national league could have used MVP Ronald Acuna Jr., but that may take some time.
Director Brian Snitker said that on Thursday, the 27 -year -old star will examine the injured left knee in Los Angeles next week. Acuna ruptured the left anterior cruciate ligament on May 26 and had surgery on June 6.
Acuna joined the application, but has not yet been cleaned to run the bases.
“Like other men who miss spring education, he will shape his body when he is cleared,” Snitker said. He said.
Snitker will return to the right -handed Bryce Elder, who wants to develop from his opposition to the World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodgers, who reigned in the 2nd season season.
Elder (0-0, 6.75 ERA) Four-strokes initially allowed three running. Dodgers won 6-5 in Shohei Ohtani’s exit homer in the ninth, while he hosted Tommy Edman and Michael Conforto.
In 2023, Elder lost his career against Rays and made six hit in 10-4 road defeats and four walks in 3 1/3 strokes.
When Florida came to the fore with home competitions to defeat the summer rain, Rays, who missed the playoffs for the first time since 2018 last season, will play the fourth match of a 13 -game host. They lost two of three people against Los Angeles Angels to start the week.
After starting 4-1, he lost six of the last seven of the last seven people while playing 19 of his first 22 matches in Tampa, where the manager Kevin Cash fell.
RAYS performed an unforgettable performance on Thursday.
The 11-1 walling left a mark on the rays that allowed the fifth shot from Jo Adell, including two Homer.
“I mean, we’re disappointed, Cash Cash said. “I can be sure that these men are disappointed there. We want to play better baseball. Everyone wants to get out of spring education and make a good start. He doesn’t feel like we’re doing it right now. One or two series can change it. We need to continue looking at this way.”
Tampa Bay, right-handed Taj Bradley (1-0, 4.91 ERA) will oppose Elder on Friday. After giving up the four runs in five strokes of five strokes of 6-1, he left a single career start in 2023 against Atlanta.
Bradley defeated Colorado Rockies at the first exit in the 2025 season, but on Saturday, he had undecided control problems at Texas Rangers. He left four runs and two hit in four innings, but he invoiced seven.
