Ramirez clears waivers, accepts assignment to Gwinnett. For the moment, he takes Folty's place, who is on a brief personal leave. Bowman tweets he should make his next start.

Looking forward to seeing Fried get back on the mound!

Thank goodness we have a strong minor league system to track, cause our major league club is a joke and the laughing stock of baseball. We absolutely suck.

Hey, we're not the laughingstock just yet. The Twins are fighting us for the title!

[Hudson2]

The Twins at least have the talent on the MLB roster to turn things around lol

Toscano starting for miss and hitting 2nd

[CJ9]

I watched the first four innings for Blair and couldn't have been more impressed. Tons of ground balls and weak contact.

Blair should be a good one, everyone we got in the Miller deal should work out good or better IMO.

[msstate7]

Newcomb with back-to-back 1-out walks in 2nd

[CJ9]

Aaron Blair: 6 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 6 K.

Max Fried: 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 7 K.

Moralse as well.. plus a runner caught stealing..

[dak]

Ruiz with a 3-run HR in the 8th for GWI. Would love to see more of that.

[bravesfanMatt]

BOOM!!! Rio with a 3 run bomb in the 8th to push the lead to 5 - 0...

[UNCBlue012]

Ruiz is zoned in!

[Julio3000]

Rio becoming an MLB 3B with a little pop could be a game-changer for us.

Newcomb...
5.0 ip 1 h 1 er 4 bb 4 k

[bravesfanMatt]

Rome and Miss are just jinxed.. Rome gave up slim lead in the 9th to spoil and outstanding start by Fried. Custred, who was awesome last year, struggled again.. then Taylor Lewis did the rest.. Bummer..

Newcomb pitched well when he wasn't giving up free passes.. left with a 2-1 lead that was promptly given up and they are now tied 2-2..

All in all, the starters looked great across the board. cut down on some walks and they would have been dominate
