Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker picked up his 800th career win on Monday as the Braves defeated the Chicago Cubs, 4-1.
All 800 of Snitker’s wins have been with the Braves, the only organization he’s been with since the team drafted and hired him.
“It means a lot. I never thought I’d get one, let alone 800. I’ve been surrounded by really good players for 10 year, so that’s a byproduct of that,” Snitker told FanDuel Sports Network’s Paul Byrd after the game.

Snitker praised his mentor, former Braves manager Bobby Cox, and more importantly his wife, Ronnie, for her support.
