In the final start of his career in his home state and in his 11th try at win No. 199, Adam Wainwright did a decent job of keeping the best offense in all of baseball quiet til about mid game. He had a 3-3 tie going for some time and then it turned. About the sixth inning, Atlanta’s Ronald Acuna Jr. hit his second homer of the game to chase Wainwright from the mound as the Braves got an 8-5 victory.

NFL SUNDAY TICKET WILL LOOK DIFFERENT THIS SUNDAY
For the first time since 1994, NFL Sunday Ticket will not be on DirecTV this football season. YouTube bought the rights to those games for about $2 billion — and it seems things are going to look different.
Each game will have a real-time highlight reel available. There will also be a way to play fantasy football through the NFL’s official app by connecting your account and tracking your players while you watch.
And as things get revved up in the years to come, watch for opportunities to place bets. There’s obviously big bucks to be made here. YouTube knows it and will certainly be ready to pounce when the time is right
