Joc Pederson delivers as Braves walk-off Nationals
Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports The Braves pick up a game on both the Phillies and the Mets in the NL East standings In perhaps the wackiest game of the season, Joc Pederson delivered a walk-off single in the 10th to give the Atlanta Braves a 7-6 win over the Washington Nationals.

Lane Thomas walked to lead off the game and then moved up to second on a ground out by Alcides Escobar. An infield single by Juan Soto put runners at the corners with one out. Josh Bell then jumped on...

The Daily Chop: Albies Injury Scare, Morton Magnificent in Braves loss, plus more
Richard Mackson-USA TODAY Sports Another tough night in Los Angeles for the Braves at least ends with a bit of positive news on the injury front. It seemed last night had the chance to be a bit better for the Braves early on when compared to their loss Monday against the Dodgers. A “how the heck did he hit that” home run from Joc Pederson and an RBI Double from Travis d’Arnaud gave the Braves a early 2-0 lead, and that seemed like it was enough support for how dominant Charlie Morton looked at times during his outing. However, in the second half of the game, the...
