Drake Baldwin Hits Game-Winning Grand Slam
Braves catcher Drake Baldwin continues to impress for Triple-A Gwinnett. He went 2-for-4 with a go-ahead grand slam Thursday night in the top of the 10th inning. After the Louisville staff silenced the Stripers bats for eight innings, Gwinnett tied it up in the ninth before taking the lead on Baldwin’s blast in the 10th. Baldwin had three balls in play at 100+ mph throughout the night while catching all 10 innings. The Braves have Sean Murphy under contract until 2028 and Travis d’Arnaud available on a club option in 2025, so Baldwin might be on the outside looking in for playing time next season. How they handle d’Arnaud’s option will be telling.
