Eddie Rosario made an unreal play to keep Oakland scoreless.

All of Braves Country is behind Michael Soroka tonight as he returns to the mound, and Eddie Rosario is all about giving Michael Soroka all the support he deserves in his return against the Oakland A's. 

Rosario went up to ROB a ball that would have been a home run. 

Incredible play by Rosario. Braves hold on to a 1-0 lead.
