MIAMI – With a week left in the season, the Braves’ games don’t count for much at this point. The fact that Freddie Freeman is choosing to play in them anyway, with a painful wrist, has not gone unnoticed by teammates.
And not just playing, but excelling. Freeman had three hits and homered for the second consecutive game in Friday’s 12-11 loss to the Marlins, when the Braves’ rally from an 11-4 deficit fell short and they lost for the second time in seven games.
