Player of the gameJacob MisiorowskiMIL6.0ip 5h 2er 7k
Mauricio Dubón delivered the clutch go-ahead single that halted Jacob Misiorowski’s dominance and propelled the Braves to an eventful and exhilarating 3-2 win over the Brewers on Friday night at Truist Park. But Dubón didn’t want the spotlight shining solely on him. So when asked to do the postgame interview on BravesVision, he made sure that Eli White, the defensive star of the game, was also present. “I mean, it was a great team effort,” Dubón said. “Yeah, I got the hit and everything, but everybody contributed. It was just a great win.” It was also one of those “unexpected” wins that baseball so often creates. The Braves had lost six of their last seven, and their lineup was still missing both Ronald Acuña Jr. and Michael Harris II in Friday’s series opener against Milwaukee. They sent Martín Pérez, a pitcher they designated for assignment in April, to the mound to oppose Misiorowski, who hadn’t allowed more than a run in any of his eight starts going back to the end of April.
