Braves Today

The Braves beat the White Sox 2–0 as Grant Holmes carried a no-hit bid into the seventh, boosting his confidence despite lots of hard contact, before Didier Fuentes, Dylan Lee, and Raisel Iglesias finished a dominant shutout. Attention turns to a postseason-caliber Brewers series highlighted by Chris Sale vs. Jacob Misiorowski, plus Milwaukee’s run-manufacturing offense built on walks, BABIP, and speed. The episode previews travel quirks and Sunday’s Little League Classic in Williamsport, and outlines key questions: handling elite stuff, stopping Brewers baserunning, and extending pitch counts against top pitching.

The federal and SEC scrutiny surrounding Los Angeles Dodgers owner Mark Walter’s insurance empire is not merely a story about a wealthy sports owner’s private finances. Statutory filings indicate that the company behind SportsNet LA carries substantial debt held by life insurers tied to members of Dodgers ownership. That creates a serious baseball question: could interest expense inside the media company reduce the revenue MLB attributes to the Dodgers, while interest income lands elsewhere in the broader ownership ecosystem? The mechanism is plausible, but the public evidence does not yet prove that MLB’s revenue-sharing base was reduced.

The Braves DFA Tyler Kinley to recall A.J. Smith-Shawver for a start vs Minnesota, continuing recent bullpen churn after Danny Young’s DFA and highlighting a plan for an October staff built around multi-inning, multi-pitch relievers plus leverage “stuff” arms. Lindsay Crosby breaks down rotation shuffling and potential postseason pitching roles, then recaps a 4–1 loss to the Twins: Tyler Mahle recovered after a costly first inning, but Atlanta’s offense produced just six hits, went 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position, struggled to elevate hard contact, and squandered key chances despite Drake Baldwin’s solo homer.
