Alex Verdugo issued a warning that the Atlanta Braves are heating up. The Braves have now won 15 of their last 23 games, including a wild walk-off victory over the Washington Nationals on Monday night courtesy of Verdugo.
After Atlanta blew a 3-1 lead over Washington in the top of the ninth inning, the Braves demonstrated their resilience. Eli White got on board to start the bottom of the ninth and Nick Allen moved him into scoring position. Verdugo then slapped a 3-2 Andrew Chafin offering up the middle, scoring White from second and winning the game on a walk-off single.
