Before his Braves debut on Monday, Braves infielder Gordon Beckham talked about his excitement at coming home to play at Turner Field.
That elation turned into dejection when Beckham’s errant throw led to the go-ahead run for the Nationals in a 4-3 loss.
“I struck out twice and I had an error to lose the game,” Beckham said. “Not a good start. It is what it is. I’ll come back.”
Beckham starred at Westminster High and the University of Georgia.
