Brogdon (1-0) picked up the win in Thursday's season opener against Atlanta, tossing a clean 10th inning.

EDGE Analysis

In an oddity that can only happen in an era where teams start with a runner on second base in extras, Brogdon only faced two batters to retire the side. He shut down a pair of very good ones however, getting Freddie Freeman on a groundout before Marcell Ozuna flew out to center fielder Roman Quinn, who threw Ozzie Albies out at home for the inning-ending double play. It's notable that it was Brogdon who was called upon for the high-leverage frame after Archie Bradley, Jose Alvarado and Hector Neris had already been used. That suggests that Brogdon is fourth in the team's hierarchy -- nowhere near save chances at the moment, but within striking distance should he pitch well to open the season while the more established names ahead of him struggle.
