From Braves land on 5/22....a short list....
2006 In a 3-1 loss to the Braves at Petco Park, Jake Peavy fans 16 batters, setting a Padres regular-season record for strikeouts. The 24 year-old right-hander, gives up a two-run homer in the second inning to Ryan Langerhans, struck out every Brave in the starting lineup at least once, including getting Andruw Jones swinging in three consecutive at-bats.
And from around MLB on this date, the beginning of a new “line” we might all recognioze......
1914 Ben Tincup becomes first person from the Cherokee tribe to play in the major leagues. The 21 year-old Phillies right-hander makes his debut at Forbes Field in an 8-2 loss to the Pirates.
1933 Yankee third baseman Joe Sewell is struck out for the first time this season, a victim of Cleveland's Wes Ferrell. The 34 year-old infielder, playing in his final season, will strike out only three more times in 524 at-bats.
1982 In his last major league at bat, Mario Mendoza, who will become a minor league hitting instructor, reaches first on a fielder's choice, ending his nine-year career with a .215 batting average. The Ranger infielder's name will become infamous as players struggling at the plate will be described as performing below the 'Mendoza Line'.

***Weather Update***
Just did a quick look and the heaviest precipitation should pass north of Philly today. Light and occasionally moderate rainfall in Philly should pick around the noon hour or just before and continue intermittently throughout most of the afternoon with the heaviest being between 2 and 6 PM. After 6 PM, intermittent rain showers are possible through the evening hours with a chance of a heavy shower or thunderstorm during the game time period. Currently the 6 hour period between 5 and 11 PM models are indicating between .1 and .3" but most of that is in the early part of the time period. Rainfall between 8 and 11 PM looks to be light (trace -.1") except for the chance of a passing heavier shower/thunderstorm. Doesn't look to be a wash out but can't rule out a delay, especially if one of those heavier showers were to occur. I'll look into more detail later today. -PA
GO BRAVES!

***Weather Update*** 3:45 PM EDT 22 May 2018
Not much change from earlier except increasing looking like the light showers may hang around until 7 PM. A lull in Philly now but expect light showers approaching from the west to enter the Philly around 5-6 PM and last until 7 PM. These look to be very light and should pass rather harmlessly. After that it looks pretty good. Any heavier downpours or thunderstorms should occur mainly before 7 PM but are really not expected. Clouds and lower temps have all but eliminated any severe weather chances. There is a slight chance of a stray heavy shower or a rumble of thunder of short duration after 7 PM but I'm only expecting mostly cloudy conditions with occasional light showers and/or drizzle possible (< .1") and maybe a bit of fog. Earlier the heavier rain stayed to the north, this evening the heavier rain should stay to the S/SE over New Jersey. Temps should remain in the mid to upper 60's for the game time period. I'll be away until around game time or later but I'll be watching the radar and rapid refresh/rapid refresh high resolution models if I get back in time and post a short update. Wednesday looks to be very nice with highs in the low 80's and little to no chance of rain tomorrow night with temps falling from the mid to upper 70's at game time to the low 70's/high 60's by 10 PM with NW winds ~ 5 MPH.
GO BRAVES!

***Quick Weather Update*** Looking better for little to no rain tonight. Showers to the west are dissipating as they approach SE PA. For the game...Mainly cloudy with just very light precip/drizzle at times, especially early, if at all. Temps in mid 60's and light winds. A front will move through overnight making for great weather tomorrow.
Time to beat the Phils!
Later!-PA

Good base running, Acuna. We need runs and you give one away.

Acuna pulls an Odubel on the base paths. Braves fail to score in the first.
