Drake Baldwin's Six RBI Lead Braves Over Giants

Atlanta Braves rookie catcher Drake Baldwin went 3-for-4 with two doubles and six RBI in a 9-5 win over the San Francisco Giants, helping the team overcome an early deficit. Baldwin's standout performance improved his season stats to a .290/.358/.488 slash line with 11 home runs and 39 RBI in 229 plate appearances. His contributions, combined with the Braves' catching duo leading the National League in home runs, have strengthened his case as a frontrunner for the NL Rookie of the Year Award. Manager Brian Snitker and teammates praised Baldwin's baseball awareness and adaptability, suggesting he will be a key player for years to come. Ronald Acuña Jr. scored three runs in the victory, and starting pitcher Bryce Elder managed to secure the win despite early struggles. The Braves' lineup consistency, especially at catcher, is expected to continue powering their offense.
