While Rio Ruiz was the man who hit the pinch-hit single that gave the Braves the win in walk-off fashion tonight, it was Dansby Swanson’s effort to stretch a single into a double that put the Braves in position to beat the Mets tonight.
When I wrote the preview for this game, I wasn’t exactly optimistic about either Julio Teheran or Matt Harvey breaking out of their respective funks tonight. So of course, both of them proved me to be a dumb baseball fan because they proceeded to enter into a pitcher’s duel tonight.
