CJ Abrams had a big game on Wednesday, going 3 for 5 at the plate with the third hit the first walk-off winner of his career. Abrams, 21, went down for a changeup out of the zone, low, from Braves’ reliever Jackson Stephens and lined it to right for the game-winner, but there was the play in the eighth, where he sent a weak grounder back to the mound right back to reliever AJ Minter, then didn’t exactly hustle to first, only to have Minter throw the ball high, pulling first baseman Matt Olson off the bag.
Abrams took a few quick steps as Olson recovered and lunged for the first base bag with his glove, beating the runner (upon review) to the bag.
