ATLANTA • Although it is only Magneuris Sierra's first day in the majors -- you may have heard about that -- the Atlanta Braves have been curiously preoccupied by him, in the field and on the bases.
Sierra got the first big-league hit of his career in the sixth inning. He lined a ball to left field past the outstretched arm of the shortstop. And then Braves pitcher R.A. Dickey performed a series of throw over to attempt to pick Sierra off. There was even a pitch out at one point to try and keep Sierra close to first base.
