Dubn, Olson and Yastrzemski help Braves earn 4-0 shutout over the Athletics
ATLANTA (AP) --- The Braves scored three runs in the first inning off a double
from Matt Olson and a single from Mauricio Dubn in a 4-0 win over the
Athletics on Monday night.
Mike Yastrzemski came in to relieve left fielder Eli White and hit a line drive
triple to right field in the eighth inning. Dubn followed with a single to
send him home.
Dubn, a two-time (2023, '25) Gold Glove-winning shortstop, came to the Braves
in the offseason from a trade with the Astros.
Bryce Elder (1-0) pitched six innings and gave up five hits with five
strikeouts and a walk.
Nick Kurtz and Shea Langeliers both went 0 for 4 for the Astros. Brent Rooker
went 2 for 4, but grounded to Dubn to start a double play that ended the
eighth inning.
In the ninth, Jacob Wilson was thrown out at second on a ground ball by
Lawrence Butler, who was originally ruled safe at first. The call was
challenged and then overturned, resulting in a double play. Max Muncy hit an
infield fly that Olson caught to end the game.
Jacob Lopez (0-1) pitched four innings for the A's. He gave up five hits, had
five walks, three earned runs and no strikeouts.
