The Atlanta Braves improved to 36-16 after Friday night’s 5-4 win over the Washington Nationals. The win came in walk-off fashion, and this time, Chadwick Tromp was the hero, ripping a hit in the 11th inning to score Eli White.
The hit capped a memorable night for Tromp, the fourth string catcher, who not only recorded two hits on the night, but also tallied the first walk-off hit of his career. The Braves hope this version of Tromp continues
to suit up since the usual backstops are sidelined with injury.
The series continues this afternoon at 4:10 ET behind Grant Holmes.
