MLB Note - Atlanta Braves Foltynewicz, Mike

Jul 26, 2017 - 10:35 AM RHP Mike Foltynewicz's pitch count was already well past 100 with a run in and a runner on base and none out during the sixth inning Tuesday night in Arizona. Manager Brian Snitker thought about taking him out, but chose to leave him in. Foltynewicz had enough left to strike out the side -- finishing with nine strikeouts and 119 pitches thrown. Foltynewicz (9-5) won his sixth in a row and is unbeaten in his last 10 starts. "It was a long and stressful inning, and I'm glad we got out of there with just one run," said Foltynewicz, who was relieved when he realized Snitker was giving him a chance to work out of the jam. "It gives me all the confidence in the world to bear down and get this guy out."
