Crosby Hits a Long Ball, But A’s Are No Match For Braves

Posted by Milo Taibi Categories: Athletes, MLB, Scoreboard

Bobby Crosby hit a solo home run in the very top of the first inning of Sunday’s game between the Atlanta Braves and Oakland A’s, but the Braves were able to rebound to notch a 5-2 victory, improving their record to 22-21. The Braves had some nice offense yesterday; Brian McCann doubled in the first inning to tie up the game. In the 2nd, Yunel Escobar singled in Kelly Johnson and Gregor Blanco. To drive the nail in the coffin, Kelly Johnson hit a two RBI triple in the bottom of the 8th inning, to put away the Athletics.

“We just didn’t get it done,” said Crosby. “We had lots of opportunities but couldn’t capitalize. … I expect we’ll be fine. Right now we’re struggling a little bit. Maybe we’re pressing a little bit.”
