ONE BIG TAKEAWAY
The direction of an MLB baseball game can change in one pitch. That was the case on Wednesday, when Kevin Plawecki was called out on a pitch that missed the strike zone by a fairly large margin. If called correctly, that same pitch would have resulted in ball four, and a walked-in run for Boston. Instead, the inning ended, keeping the game tied at 3-3 into the ninth where Braves DH Orlando Arcia ended the night in walk-off fashion.
STARS OF THE GAME
— Trevor Story got the proverbial monkey off of his back on Wednesday. The Red Sox second baseman connected on his first home run with the club, sending a hanging breaking ball 422-feet over the centerfield wall.
— Matt Strahm continued his streak of strong outings on Wednesday, retiring three Atlanta batters on just 10 pitches for his fifth straight scoreless appearance.
— Orlando Arcia had himself quite the day for Atlanta, going 3-for-4 with a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth.
WAGER WATCH
The Red Sox opened up the scoring with Trevor Story’s second-inning home run on Wednesday. Prior to first pitch, DraftKings Sportsbook had Story’s odds at +450 to hit one out. A $100 bet on Story would have paid out $450.
