Braves finally lose series after flat offensive performance in Mariners rubber match
"The Braves' only hit off Woo was Mauricio Dubon's two-out single in the fourth inning. That prevented them from being held hitless through four innings for the first time this season."
"Martín Pérez did well to keep the game tight and give the offense a chance to wake up throughout his start. His day ended on a somewhat sour note when he hung a 3-1 changeup which Julio Rodriguez smashed out of the park."
"The Braves finally broke onto the scoreboard into the eighth against Eduard Bazardo, putting runners on the corners with no outs on back-to-back singles and plating their first run on a Dominic Smith sacrifice fly."
"A brutal pickoff from pinch runner Jorge Mateo, who represented the tying run, derailed the rally attempt. A bad mistake was made that much worse."
The Braves' impressive start to the 2026 season concluded with a 3-1 loss to the Mariners, ending their series winning streak. Atlanta struggled against Seattle's Bryan Woo, who allowed only one hit through six innings. Martín Pérez kept the game competitive but allowed a crucial home run. The Braves managed to score in the eighth inning but a critical pickoff mistake hindered their comeback efforts. This loss marked a significant moment in their season as they faced challenges on the road trip.
