IGT 6/12/17: CHC@NYM -- Jake It To The Limit

[Frayed Knot]

Braves win 11-10 on a Tyler Flowers 3R HR in the 9th
The HR made it 11-9. Nats got one back in the bottom half but Harper flied to CF with the tying run on 1st to end the game.
Matt Albers was Dusty's designated closer du jour but that choice didn't work out too well as he's the one who served up the tater to Flowers.

That's 3.5 games gained in three days.

Here's hoping the Braves' bullpen doesn't turn out to be garbage in the same sense that Jay Bruce is.

At 2:23, this was the shortest NYM game of the year and the 3rd time that one of our games came in at 2:30 or less.
Until around the mid-'80s, games under 2-1/2 hours were the majority and as recently as a decade ago the percentage of nine-inning games <2:30 was still in double-digits.
Last year though a total 7 NYM games (out of 149 nine-inning games) came in at 2:30 or less and looks like we're on about that same pace this season.
