Aaron Schmidt

The final game Bobby Cox attended. He was honored at Truist Park on August 22 during the 30th anniversary celebration of the Atlanta #Braves’ 1995 World Series championship team. Rest in peace to one of baseball’s all-time greats.

This is also Drake Baldwin's eighth first-inning homer this season, which leads all of MLB.

It took two pitches for #Braves’ Drake Baldwin to crush another homer off a southpaw. This time, it’s Red Sox lefty Payton Tolle. That’s 13 on the season, and 7 against left-handlers.

Bryce Elder's 2Ks in the 1st.

@CJNitkowski @CJNitkowski couldn’t agree more! Byrdie is a class act and so well respected among our clubhouse. These are encouraging words to us players to not put pressure on ourselves to be anyone that we aren’t! That’s why this team is special, no egos just team mentality!

City Connect Saturday #BravesCountry

A Yastrzemski walks off the Red Sox in extras. Imagine reading that headline 50 years ago. #Braves

#Braves C Sandy Leon has thrown two guys out tonight. Yeah, he just got here... again. But he's filling Sean Murphy's absence quite nicely.

419 feet for #Braves' Michael Harris II, who is the second left-handed batter to take Connelly Early deep tonight. It's his 8th on the year and second vs. a LHP. Harris' last 30 games: 34-for-97 (.351 AVG) 7 HR 19 RBI .379 OBP .608 SLG .987 OPS

#Braves' Drake Baldwin with homer No. 12 on the year. 407 feet to dead center. Ceddanne Rafaela almost got it, but it just cleared the wall. 6 of Baldwin's 12 homers this season have come off left-handers.

Weiss did say, however, to not hold him to that.

When asked if he’d consider DH’ing Ronald Acuña Jr. when activated - similar to what the #Braves did with Michael Harris II - Walt Weiss said that “if it's a situation where (Acuña) isn’t feeling good enough to run around in the outfield, we probably won't bring him back yet.”

Friday reds‼️ #BravesCountry

#Braves’ Ronald Acuña Jr. (hamstring) doing sprints prior to tonight’s game vs. Boston. He was eligible to come off the injured list earlier this week, but manager Walt Weiss said he wouldn’t be activated this homestand. The club has yet to set an exact return date.

#Braves-Red Sox probables: Fri: RHP Spencer Strider vs. LHP Connelly Early Sat: RHP Bryce Elder vs. LHP Payton Tolle Sun: RHP Grant Holmes vs. TBD LHP Martin Perez will go Monday in Miami.

And if that fan didn’t like Riley’s homer, they sure won’t like Mike Yastrzemski’s go-ahead HR to put the #Braves in front, 4-2. Nonetheless, Yaz really needed that.

#Braves’ Austin Riley’s sixth homer of the season ties it up. 107 mph off the bat and it went 409 feet. A Cubs fan didn’t like this too much and tossed the ball back onto the field.

Didier Fuentes is in this game in the 5th inning. He took over for Grant Holmes, who allowed 2 ER on 1 H and 4 BB. He threw 78 pitches (46 strikes) #Braves

Thank you, Bobby and Ted. ❤️💙
