He Doesn’t Just Run Fast

In early August, the 6th to be precise, Ender helped Atlanta extend a 2-run lead against the St. Louis Cardinals in the “Show-Me” state.

Already up 7-5, many will tell you that against the Redbirds, two runs normally isn’t a typically safe lead, and given the Braves’ season thus far, you’d always like to have more.

After a Chase d’Arnaud single to shallow right center, Inciarte crushed a 2-run bomb to deep right field. That blast put the Braves up 9-5 and secure an easy 13-5 win.

This coming in the ninth inning, the Braves would actually put up a total of 6 runs in the frame. This wasn’t something the team did on a regular basis.

However, Inciarte’s 2-run shot, pretty much put the nail in the coffin for the Cardinals.
