ATLANTA (AP) — Alex Verdugo shook his head when reminded the Atlanta Braves are 2-0 since he was recalled this week.
“I'm not taking credit for it yet,” Verdugo said.
Even so, Verdugo's four hits and two runs scored in Saturday night's 4-3 win over the Minnesota Twins provided evidence he has given a spark to the offense as the team's new leadoff hitter and starting left fielder.
