The Atlanta Braves scored their first walk-off win of the season Wednesday night as Orlando Arcia connected for a two-run home run in the ninth inning to salvage a split in a two-game series against the Boston Red Sox. The Braves came back from a 3-0 early deficit thanks to some strong pitching and some timely hitting, which is something that has been missing for a lot of the season.
Arcia is the team’s latest unlikely hero. He saw some action early on during the season, but made his first start since April 24 Wednesday night and responded with a three-hit performance including the game-winning home run.
