In the absence of Ozzie Albies in the Atlanta Braves lineup, Orlando Arcia acquired a more relevant role within the Tomahawks; he has responded with various and timely hits like the one given on this Saturday day of the Major Leagues.
Faced with the Washington Nationals, the Georgia team went ahead with 2 runs in the first, stemming from a home run by Austin Riley (22) that found Ronald Acuña in circulation.

Another 2 arrive in the room; first 1 with a single by Eddie Rosario and then another also with a hit by Arcia. This would be a decisive RBI in the destinations of the game, as the capitals scored 1 in the third with a home run by Juan Soto (17), another in the seventh after a long shot by Yadiel Hernández (6) and 1 more in the eighth after uncatchable by Nelson Cruz.
However, that would be it, and in the end Atlanta wins at home 4×3.
