ATLANTA (AP) —is resurgence that has added more punch to Atlanta’s lineup.Swanson hit a game-ending single against a five-man infield and the Braves Curtis Granderson Jersey , helped by a catcher’s interference call, beat the Miami Marlins 4-3 on Sunday.“I love that weight, so to speak, on my shoulders,” Swanson said.After Swanson hit only .238 in 2018, he had offseason surgery to have a troublesome loose body removed from his left wrist.Swanson was upbeat all spring, expressing optimism about his newly empowered swing. So far, he has backed up his big hopes. His fourth-inning homer was his team-leading third of the season, and his nine RBI also lead the team.Miami’s Curtis Granderson tied it in the top of the ninth with a pinch-hit homer off Arodys Vizcaíno (1-0).Freddie Freeman led off Atlanta’s ninth win an infield single, the ball glancing off pitcher Adam Conley’s glove as he tried to snare the grounder behind his back. Ronald Acuña Jr. followed with an apparent double-play grounder, but home plate umpire Will Little immediately called catcher’s interference on Chad Wallach.“Inside pitch, I was a little too close and it hit my glove,” said Wallach of Acuña’s bat.Marlins manager Don Mattingly was upset Acuña wasn’t called for a strike on his check swing before the catcher’s interference. First base umpire Joe West said Acuña checked his swing.“Basically they catch a break with Acuña,” Mattingly said. “That’s strike three. He was swinging, a full swing almost on a check swing.”A passed ball by Wallach allowed Freeman to advance to third. After Mattingly brought in right fielder Rosell Herrera to form a five-man infield Jaime Garcia Jersey , leaving right field vacant, Conley (0-2) walked Markakis to load the bases.Swanson lined the game-winning single to left field, and then high-stepped his way to first base as his teammates surged out of the dugout in a race to surround him for an on-field celebration.“There was no doubt in my mind he would come through,” said Freeman of Swanson. “Winners come through.”Swanson, hitting .346, has added more depth to an Atlanta lineup also strengthened by the addition of Josh Donaldson.“It’s a tough lineup to go through,” Mattingly said.Freeman hit a two-run homer off Caleb Smith in the first inning.Sean Newcomb gave up two runs in seven innings in a possibly important start to protect his place in Atlanta’s rotation. The left-hander overcame second-inning control problems to allow only four hits.Ozzie Albies led off the Atlanta first with a single and scored on Freeman’s first homer.Newcomb gave up his only two walks in the second, including a bases-loaded pass to Miguel Rojas. Smith’s single off Newcomb’s glove drove in Starlin Castro, who doubled.TRAINER’S ROOMMarlins: RHP Sergio Romo was available after being hit by a line drive on the bottom of his left hand Saturday night.Braves: C Brian McCann was placed on the 10-day IL with a right hamstring strain. The catcher position became a concern when McCann’s replacement Saturday night, Tyler Flowers, was hit by a pitch on his right hand. X-rays were negative Saturday night, but there was ongoing concern and Flowers was scheduled for further tests Sunday.DIVISION MATTERS MOSTA 14-5 record against Miami last season helped the Braves win the NL East. They’re off to a good start this year, winning two of three in the series. The Braves are 5-1 since being swept at Philadelphia to open the season.“Everything matters,” Freeman said. “It’s going to be a battle to the end, and you have to win against your division opponents.”JACKSON’S DEBUTBraves catcher Alex Jackson http://www.bluejaysfanproshop.com/authentic-curtis-granderson-jersey , recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett before the game, was 0 for 3 in his major league debut but earned compliments for his work with Newcomb.“Awesome,” Newcomb said. “He called a great game. … He’s a big league catcher. He proved that today.”ON DECKMarlins: Following an off day on Monday, Miami opens a three-game series at Cincinnati on Tuesday night when RHP Jose Urena (0-2, 10.38) tries to bounce back from two losses to open the season. Urena was 4-0 with a 2.23 ERA in his final six road starts of 2018.Braves: RHP Julio Teheran, who has a 2.96 ERA in four career starts at Coors Field, will start when the Braves open a three-game series at Colorado on Monday night. The Tampa Bay Rays clearly see something in Yandy Diaz.They jumped in as a third team in the trade that sent slugger Edwin Encarnacion from Cleveland to Seattle in exchange for Carlos Santana, with their part in the deal as follows:To TB:DH Yandy Diaz, RP Cole Sulser;To CLE: 1B/OF Jake Bauers;To SEA:$5 million;Mandy Bell of MLB.com attempted to explain Tampa Bay's interest:"Of 504 players over the last two seasons -- those who've made contact at least 100 times --Aaron Judge's 54.6-percent hard-hit rate is No. 1. Diaz ranks 19th at 47.6 percent.So why has Diaz hit one home run in 265 at-bats? Because he has the eighth-lowest launch angle and 25th-highest ground-ball rate. If the Rays can get him to elevate the ball, they could have a star."Regardless of the upside, Bauers was a steep price to pay.The 23-year-old ranked amongtop 100 prospects at the start of the 2016 (No. 78), 2017 (No. 70) and 2018 (No. 45) seasons. In his first taste of MLB action, he posted a 94 OPS+ with 22 doubles, 11 home runs and 48 RBI in 388 plate appearances while showing the defensive versatility to play first base and both corner outfield spots.The $5 million sent to Seattle is also nothing to sneeze at for a team that had a total payroll of just $68.8 million in 2018.If Diaz doesn't successfully change his approach and Bauers develops into the player he was always expected to be, this could be one the Rays really regret.Cleveland Indians: Trading C Yan Gomes to Cut Cost7 of 7David Maxwell/Getty ImagesBuster Olney of ESPN reported at the start of the offseason that the Cleveland Indians were facing "market constraints" and open to the idea of moving some of their high-priced veterans.The first to go was catcher Yan Gomes on Nov. 30.Despite a bounce-back season at the plate and a reasonable $7.1 million salary in 2019 Freddy Galvis Jersey , he wassent to the Washington Nationals for right-hander Jefry Rodriguez, outfielder Daniel Johnson and shortstop Andruw Monasterio.In a bubble, it was a successful money-saving move.However, the moves that have been made since have rendered it unnecessary.After swapping Edwin Encarnacion for Carlos Santana and trading Yonder Alonso to the White Sox for a prospect, the small amount of payroll space created by the Gomes trade is hardly worth the hole it's created at the catcher position.Light-hitting Roberto Perez (210 PA, .168 BA, 41 OPS+) and Mets castoff Kevin Plawecki (277 PA, .210 BA, 94 OPS+) now make up the catching tandem, with 26-year-old prospect Eric Haase also on the 40-man roster.By comparison, Gomes hit .266/.313/.449 with 16 home runs and 48 RBI for a 103 OPS+ last season while also earning his first All-Star appearance and posting 2.6 WAR.Taking it a step further, the decision to trade catching prospect Francisco Mejia last summer for reliever Brad Hand has left the Indians without a long-term solution at the position. That makes the 2020 ($9 million) and 2021 ($11 million) club options that Gomes has all the more difficult to lose.All stats courtesy of Baseball Reference and FanGraphs, unless otherwise noted.
