WATCH: Orlando Magic: The Gathering – Arcia hits the walk-off to earn the Braves a home and series opening game win
Dream scenario. Bottom of the ninth, Eddie Rosario doubles as a pinch hitter, he hammers a line drive to right field for extra bases. Hero of the night Orlando Arcia steps up to the plate. A man that wasn't even an afterthought before he was named the starter out of spring training, laces a single on a line drive to center field to drive in Eddie Rosario as the Braves walk it off in thrilling fashion:
The game was a hard-fought battle that Arcia ended with one swing of the bat. The Braves give the home fans a walk-off, ninth inning, series starting, home opening, and a thrill to enjoy for the ages.
The Braves will continue to enjoy home cooking as they play game two of this four-game set with the San Diego Padres on Friday night, with the first pitch scheduled for 7:20 ET.
