Travis d’Arnaud smashes first-inning home run as Braves shut out Twins

Thanks to a solid two innings of work from Ian Anderson and an early homer from Travis d’Arnaud helping to boost the offense, the Braves were able to have a nice and breezy day at CoolToday Park in North Port on their way to a spring training win over the Twins.

Last season, Travis d’Arnaud finished the year in 3rd place on the Catcher wRC+ leaderboards among those who had at least 100 plate appearances. d’Arnaud will have a pretty big task ahead of him in 2021 to give the Braves a similar level of production at the plate, but he appears to be up to the task if this game is any indication.
