Murphy’s pop time was 1.86 on the stole base attempt according to Statcast. Murphy’s perfect throw was only matched by Ozzie Albies perfect positioning as the Nationals are 0-1 on stolen bases today. Murphy hasn't had a hit for the Braves this season yet, but his defense is not to be questioned. 

Score is currently 5-1 in the Nationals favor as the Braves make a pitching change in the fifth. 

The Braves get on a plane to St. Louis this afternoon for an early season divisional leaders tilt against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium Monday. The first pitch is scheduled for 7:45 ET.
