“I wanted to get a good pitch to hit and do exactly what Marte did, pass the baton,” Lindor told SNY. “I had Iglesias, who has probably been the best clutch hitter in the game this year . I wasn’t trying to do too much… and it worked out that I hit it up in the air. I was prepared. I was ready for the moment. The moment came, and I was ready to capitalize.”
Schwellenbach went seven scoreless innings, allowing just three hits with five strikeouts and no walks, but Tyrone Taylor worked an 11-pitch at-bat before doubling to lead off the frame, driving him from the game with a 3-0 lead that did not last much longer. “It’s been an uphill fight. One moment I felt like we were putting ourselves in a big hole,” Lindor said. “Then we kept on climbing little by little out of that hole… There’s been a lot of steps in the way, but I guess that’s the part of the journey.”
The missed opportunity was felt especially more in the next half inning when the Braves opened the scoring in the bottom of the third. After Megill allowed a single to Michael Harris, he hung a slider on the inside part of the plate to Albies, who smacked his 10th home run of the season over the left-field fence to put Atlanta up 2-0.
