Travis d’Arnaud turned in a big day at the plate and some strong bullpen work helped the Atlanta Braves to a 7-2 win on Opening Day over the Washington Nationals. The Braves got things started quickly and threatened in the first although they weren’t able to cash in. Ronald Acuña Jr. led off the game with a single to right. He drew two pick off throws from Corbin and then picked up the first of what will likely be many stolen bases.

Among the extension news and roster announcements this morning, the Braves have quietly continued to stock the bullpen at the Triple-A level. The Braves have grabbed a lefty bullpen arm with an option year. They will immediately exercise that option. Richard Lovelady was a tenth-round pick in the 2016 draft. He is a 6-foot lefty with a 93 MPH fastball, a 87 MPH slider, and a sinker. He has crazy good spin on the slider and can miss some bats. However, he didn’t make the Royals bullpen so maybe we can temper our expectations. For his career, he has put up a 5.62/ 4.37/ 4.13 line in 41.2 Major League innings.
