The Braves were down to the last out before extra innings Sunday when Chase d’Arnaud ended a hot afternoon for everyone and gave the home fans something to feel good about after a rough series.
D’Arnaud hit a two-out single in the ninth inning to give the Braves a 1-0 win and avoid a sweep against the Rockies, his second walk-off hit this season at Turner Field. He ended the Braves’ June 15 win against the Reds with a 13th-inning game-winning hit.
Julio Teheran pitched in last week’s All-Star game, ranks among National League leaders in innings, WHIP and opponents’ batting average and OBP, yet the Braves’ two-time opening-day starter still has only three wins this season and none in 11 home starts.
