UP NEXT:
Braves: Anibal Sanchez (3-2, 2.89 ERA) gets the ball on Saturday. He has pitched well this season, but carries a 6.37 ERA in eight career starts against the Brewers.
Brewers: With Milwaukee's starting rotation thinned due to injury, Wilkerson will take the mound for his first start this season and third of his career.
TRAINER'S ROOM:
Braves: LHP Max Fried was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a blister on the middle finger of his throwing hand. RHP Evan Phillips was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett. ... OF Ronald Acuna Jr. left in the seventh with left groin tightness after beating out an infield single. He was replaced by Charlie Culberson.
Brewers: LHP Brent Suter was placed on the 10-day disabled list with left forearm tightness. RHP Aaron Wilkerson was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs. ... RHP Zach Davies' recovery from a sore shoulder hit another snag Friday when his back tightened up during a throwing session.

From Braves history, including the Beaneaters....
1900 By defeating the Cubs, 11-4, Beaneaters' hurler Kid Nichols takes only nine seasons to get his 300th victory. The 30 year-old righty will amass 361 victories during his 15-year career and will remain the youngest player ever to accomplish the feat.
1936 The Senior Circuit wins its first All-Star game, edging the American League at Braves Field in Boston, 4-3. The Junior Circuit had taken the first three contests of the Mid-Summer Classic.
1936 Joe DiMaggio becomes the first rookie to appear in an All-Star game when he starts in right field and bats third for the Junior Circuit in the team's 4-3 loss to the National League at Boston's Braves Field. The 21 year-old Yankees outfielder doesn't fare well in the fourth edition of the Midsummer Classic, committing an error and making the last out of the game with a man in scoring position to finish his day 0-for-5 at the plate.
1970 Rico Carty, the National League's leading hitter, becomes the first player voted to play in the All-Star Game as a write-in candidate. The Braves outfielder's name was left off the ballot that was drawn up by managers and general managers before the start of spring training.
And from around baseball....
1923 The Indians become the first American League team to score a run in every inning when they rout Boston, 27-3, in the first game of a doubleheader at Cleveland's Dunn Field. The Tribe tallies nearly half their runs in the sixth frame, crossing the plate 13 times, in a contest that takes only two hours and ten minutes to complete.
1937 With Franklin D. Roosevelt in attendance at Griffith Stadium in Washington, Yankees' first baseman Lou Gehrig drives in four runs with a home run and a double to lead the AL to an 8-3 victory over the National League in All-Star action. FDR, who tosses the ceremonial first pitch, is the first U.S. president to attend an All-Star Game.
1948 On his 42nd birthday, Negro League legend Satchel Paige signs a contract to pitch for the Indians. Though viewed by many as another publicity stunt by team owner Bill Veeck, the crafty right-hander will finish the season 6-1 for the eventual world champs. (I once carried Satchell's glove for him at a Globetrotters vs. House of David barnstorming game.....kinda cool, actually...)

“1923 The Indians become the first American League team to score a run in every inning when they rout Boston, 27-3, in the first game of a doubleheader at Cleveland's Dunn Field. ”
Amazing. Not that far off of nightmans prediction for last night score. In all fairness I don’t think he realized Danny Santana wasn’t playing when he said that.
We’re you by chance at that 27-3 game bravepap?

Kevin McAlpin @kevinmcalpin Snit said Acuña is feeling better today and could have played, but he wanted to give him one extra day. He is available off the bench and it sounds like there's a good chance he's right back in the lineup tomorrow.

I'm surprised numbnuts didn't start Santana for Acuna and bat him fifth.

David O'Brien @dobrienajc Braun scratched from #Brewers lineup today with right side tightness. Hernan Perez will play LF and bat fifth.

David O'Brien @dobrienajc Snitker on #Braves Acuna likely to play Sunday: “We’ll see. It might that if he gets in here tomorrow and the trainers don’t think he can go, then we’ll take advantage of that off day (Monday, rest him 3 days). But right now I think after today he should be good to go, I hope.”
