00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 What a pitcher's duel it was in Atlanta.
00:06 The eighth start of the year for Shota Iminaga,
00:09 the starter for Chicago.
00:11 And for the first time in those eight starts for Iminaga,
00:14 the Cubbies went down.
00:16 But not because of Iminaga, who gave up
00:18 seven hits in five innings of work
00:21 and still scoreless baseball to lower his ERA sub one
00:26 once again.
00:27 But still, not good enough to eke out a victory
00:30 for the Cubs in the ATL.
00:32 The Braves win 2-0 as Reynaldo Lopez on the other side,
00:36 also a scoreless gem.
00:39 Atlanta picks up a 2-0 victory as a home favorite.
00:42 It was minus 142 on the money line.
00:45 And DRS, a total that's closed at eight, never even came close.
00:50 Yeah, we talked about that yesterday,
00:52 even though with those weather conditions,
00:53 a little bit cooler temperatures,
00:55 some rain in the forecast, but two really good pitchers
00:57 this season on the mound.
00:59 And they didn't disappoint yesterday.
01:00 Iminaga, a 0.96 ERA is what he lowered that to.
01:05 That is outrageous here.
01:06 You want to talk Cy Young?
01:08 That's your Cy Young right now.
01:09 But you take a look at the Atlanta Braves also,
01:11 eking out another victory here, not doing what their batsmen
01:13 would with pitching.
01:14 And maybe it's time to check on that spider attack
01:16 for Reynaldo Lopez, who was a guy that was basically fodder
01:19 the past couple of years, is filthy this year
01:22 with a 1.34 ERA after going five innings pitched
01:24 and no earned runs given up.
01:26 You see that bullpen, which I've always liked for the Atlanta
01:28 Braves, hold on for that victory here.
01:30 25 and 13, not going anywhere.
01:32 And we're not even seeing the best of that Braves offense,
01:34 but still able to beat quality pitchers here like Iminaga.
01:38 (upbeat music)
