The Atlanta Braves were considered a young and up-and-coming team prior to the season - a year or two away from competing. They have matured quickly into a bonafide playoff team. Last night they added to the young contributors as they recalled Bryse Wilson. Wilson was sharp in a 1-0 Atlanta win. Add in Ronald Acuna who has carried the team, hitting .417 with 5 HRs and 11 RBI in just his last 10 games. Pittsburgh starter Chris Archer left last game with pain in his left leg, second baseman Josh Harrison has a tender hamstring, and CF Starling Marte was benched for lack of hustle twice on the base paths, and was even booed. The wheels coming off for the Pirates, so play on Atlanta.
