Earlier in Wednesday night’s match, the possibility that LA could extend their winning streak was apparently suspicious as the made numerous errors.
Max Muncy made two slow errors. Andy Page dropped the ball into the field in the middle. And starting pitcher Blakesnell didn’t look like himself in his early innings against Atlanta.
The poor combination of sloppy defense and pitching allowed the Braves to have a comfortable 5-0 lead.
However, the 2025 are unforgiving as their team overcomes the deficit to secure a 6-5 victory. As if the game was scripted, Shohei Ohtani hit a walk-off home run in nine innings on a bobblehead night.
Manager Dave Roberts commented on the whirlwind game.
“It looked dark early, but our peers were patient,” Roberts said. “Every night we’re invincible. We’ll see how it works.”
There’s confidence from the skipper when the defending champions compete every night.
“If you say we feel we’ll win every night, if we go to the field, then?” Roberts said. “Yeah (we’re invincible).”
He added: “I know that Math says we’re not going to go 162-0, but every night we take a field we think we’re going to win.
But like many people, Roberts was surprised that the found a way to win even with poor performance early in the game.
“I was a bit stupid tonight,” Roberts said. “I was umbed up with the way we were playing. We didn’t recognize the club in the first couple’s innings, and we found a way to win that game. We had no business winning that game.
The may not play the best baseball yet, but the team certainly shows they are unwilling to lose, or perhaps they can’t.
