WATCH: Orlando Arcia keeps the Braves' homer party going in St. Louis
The season is early yet, but Orlando Arcia is making the Braves' decisions to not only pencil him in as the everyday shortstop, but also to sign him to a contract extension look pretty darn prescient. Leading off the 2nd inning against Steven Matz and the St. Louis Cardinals, Arcia connected on a 1-0 sinker and just managed to sneak it over the wall in straightaway left.
This continues a flurry of early-inning blasts from the Braves over the last two nights, with this one and Austin Riley's two-run jack in the 1st coming in support of Dylan Dodd, who's made the runs stand up in the early going. The series continues tomorrow afternoon with the Braves hopefully going for the sweep.
