Braves Rally Behind Baldwin’s 2 HRs to Beat Marlins 8-6

Rookie catcher Drake Baldwin has been making a strong case for the National League Rookie of the Year, highlighted by his recent multi-homer game and five RBIs in the Atlanta Braves' 8-6 comeback win over the Miami Marlins. Baldwin's performance included a solo home run in the first inning, a three-run homer in the sixth, and a game-tying single in the seventh, contributing to the Braves overcoming a 6-2 deficit. Braves manager Brian Snitker compared Baldwin to former catcher Brian McCann and praised his all-around contributions both offensively and defensively. Baldwin's consistent hitting, including a batting average of .287 with 13 home runs and 46 RBIs, has kept him among the league's top rookies in key categories. The Braves have been particularly dominant at home against Miami, holding a 50-21 record at Truist Park. The upcoming game features a pitching matchup between Atlanta's Bryce Elder and Miami's Edward Cabrera, with Cabrera having recently pitched effectively against the New York Yankees.
