Tucker Davidson sharp, Ozuna homers as the Braves beat Twins 8-6

Tucker Davidson looked good as he tries to lock down a rotation spot and Marcell Ozuna hit his first home run this spring as the Braves took down the Twins 8-6 to improve to 5-1 this spring.

Tucker Davidson got the spring start for the Braves on Saturday as he looks to try and nab a early season rotation spot with Atlanta. In the first inning, Dansby Swanson helped the cause with a really nice play to his right to keep the first inning a clean one. Defense definitely looks like it is in midseason form.

While the contact off of Tucker in the first inning was a teeny bit worrisome, he ultimately put in a perfect outing in which he did not allow a baserunner and struck out four batters in three innings of work.
