    Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, September 10, 2020 Braves.com Braves set NL standard with 29-run outburst Atlanta breaks Modern Era record in National League (since 1900) By Mark Bowman ATLANTA -- Adam Duvall produced his second three-homer game within an eight-day span to help the Braves roll to a record-setting 29-9 win over the Marlins on Wednesday night at Truist Park. Duvall became the first player to record two three-homer games while wearing a Braves uniform, and his efforts helped Atlanta set a National League record for runs in a game in the modern era (since 1900). “That was pretty amazing to be a part of,” Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman said. “I’ve never seen an offense click like that.” The Braves fell just one run short of tying the modern record for runs scored in a game, set when the Rangers defeated the Orioles, 30-3, in the first game of a doubleheader on Aug. 22, 2007, at Camden Yards. Dating back to 1900, no NL club had scored more than 28 runs in a game. The Braves’ franchise record was 23, a mark tallied during the second game of a doubleheader against the Cubs on Sept. 2, 1957. Ronald Acuña Jr. contributed to his three-hit night with a three-run home run to cap a six-run fifth. But it was his bases-loaded double in the sixth inning that gave the Braves a new franchise record for runs in a single game, opening a 25-8 lead. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Atlanta became the first MLB team to score at least 22 runs through the first five innings since the Blue Jays (24 runs) in a win over the Orioles on June 26, 1978.

    The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, May 26, 2021 * The Boston Globe Atlanta survives early flurry, keeps Red Sox in check for series-opening win Alex Speier Already, the Red Sox have proven capable of defying the measured expectations that greeted them at the start of the season. After a residence of more than six weeks in first place, their talent will no longer be overlooked. Still, their recent slip from atop the AL East has likewise offered a reminder. As the Sox hope to transform from early-season surprise to season-long contender, they do not have the luxury of fumbling opportunities in an ultra-competitive division. Tuesday night, a 3-1 loss to Atlanta at Fenway underscored the point. The Sox had an immediate chance to seize control of the game from opposing starter Charlie Morton. Instead, they blew it in a way that seemed at once impossible, yet somehow familiar. Despite six of the first eight Sox hitters reaching base, that game-opening pressure turned into just one run through two innings — and none thereafter. “When you have a man on third, I think we have to bear down, we have to put the ball in play,” said manager Alex Cora. “For us to keep the line moving and win close games, we have to do that. We haven’t been doing that for a while.” In the bottom of the first, the Sox loaded the bases (single, walk, error) with no outs. But that golden promise — a situation that, on average, produces more than two runs — soon proved a ruse.

    CELEBRATING 2009 - 2019 10 YEARS Inside The Nation Baseball/Softball News at Diamond Nation AnNIVERSARY since 2009 th FREE Friday, April 19 2019 FLEMINGTON, NEW JERSEY COPY DIAMOND JACKS ALUM MIKE FORD CALLED UP TO NEW YORK YANKEES By Bob Behre On his first call-up to the major leagues, brand new New York Yankee Mike Ford was still accessible, while being a bit swamped, to his friends at Diamond Nation. He answers were understandably short and clipped, as if he was alighting from an Uber in front of Yankees Stadium. “Thank you. Call me tomorrow. Yeah, mad- ness,” were Ford’s responses to three questions. “Mike has earned the opportunity to play in the big leagues,” said Ford’s college mentor, Princeton coach Scott Bradley. “We are all very excited to see him in a Yankee uniform. Bradley’s first major league stop was with the Yankees. Being elevated from the Scranton-Wilkes Barre Railriders to Yankees Stadium can be a bit like Dorothy Gale’s flight from Kansas to Oz, but if anyone is capable of a handling that drastic change of environment, it is the unflappable Ford. The Princeton and Hun School grad from Belle Mead in Somerset County has certainly not been the anointed one during his rise through the Yankees minor league system. Indeed, Ford qualifies as the relentless grinder, head down, eyes focused on his goals. The latest injury to Yankees first baseman Greg Bird finally opened the door to ‘The Show’ for the former Diamond Jack. Ford followed a strong 2018 season with the Railriders with a fast start to 2019.
