Notes & reviews

High against the LCF scoreboard, on the batting order side. A slightly higher elevation would have cleared it, a feat never yet performed at Braves Field.
Dropped it after a hard run; got both hands on it but should have caught it against his chest.
Siemer's 1st ML AB
Great 1-handed catch
Ordinary single took a crazy hop, hurdled Mueller, and rolled nearly to the CF fence. Siemer's 1st ML hit and only career HR.
