Atlanta opens up the season against the Padres, with Chris Sale on the mound. One would think that is a recipe for success, but the Braves' bullpen (Hector Neris) would ultimately lead to the downfall as Atlanta falls 7-4.

Though the season started with a loss, some good can be taken away. The offense showed up. Homers from Ozzie Albies and Austin Riley... Drake Baldwin came close.

Speaking of Baldwin, the rookie has yet to pick up his first big league hit...but his patience can't go unnoticed. The rookie turned on an off-speed pitch that was robbed at the deepest part of the yard. Hopefully he notches that first hit in game two against the Padres.
