Atlanta Braves’ Freddie Freeman can’t be stopped for long

Freddie Freeman’s ‘Next’ Games

June 13, 2011 vs. Houston (on the road). Not a great start: Freeman batted 5th and went 0-3 with a walk and another strikeout as the Braves lost to Wandy Rodriguez.

June 19, 2011 vs. Texas at Turner Field. The Braves bounced back and won 4-2 after falling in 10 innings the night before. Freeman also bounced back: 3 for 4 with an RBI and a double.

April 27, 2013 vs. Detroit at Comerica. The Tigers just had the Braves’ number, despite Atlanta coming into the series with a 15-6 record. Rick Porcello beat Kris Medlen 7-4 on this day, though Freeman himself came back with a 2-for-4 day, knocking in a run in the process.

May 27, 2013 vs. Toronto at the Rogers Centre. The Mets weren’t the opponent any longer, but Mark Buehrle beat Tim Hudson 9-3 while scattering 8 hits. Two of those came off Freeman’s bat: 2 for 4 again with 1 K and a run scored.

July 27, 2013 vs. St. Louis back home. This game featured a 2 hitter through 7 innings by Julio Teheran, though Luis Avilan got the win thanks to both Atlanta runs coming in the bottom of the 8th. Freeman walked twice and K’d once (scoring one of the runs), but did not get a hit in 2 official trips to the plate.

May 27, 2015 vs. Los Angeles… and Zack Greinke. Alex Wood actually matched Greinke and 2 late runs won it for the Atlanta Braves. However, Freeman took another collar: 0 for 3 with a walk and two more punchouts. Chris Hatcher took the loss.

April 21, 2016 against the Dodgers again. This was a tough one: a 2-1 loss in 10 innings.

Chris Hatcher figured in the decision once again… he got the win. Freeman went 1 for 4 with a walk and a strikeout amongst a curious lineup for Atlanta that included Erick Aybar, Daniel Castro, Adonis Garcia, and Drew Stubbs. Welcome to the rebuild.

There’s a bit more… along with the impressive totals…
