Travis d’Arnaud hit a go-ahead grand slam in the sixth inning for a three-homer game and the Braves beat the Texas Rangers 8-3 for their fifth straight win
Travis d'Arnaud hit his first three home runs of the season, including a grand slam in the sixth that gave Atlanta the lead, and the Braves beat the Texas Rangers 8-3 on Friday night for their fifth straight win. Chris Sale allowed three runs and five hits in seven innings in the interleague matchup of first-place teams. Adolis García's two-run double off Sale in the sixth tied it at 3.
After becoming the Braves' primary catcher when Sean Murphy was placed on the 10-day injured list on March 30 with an oblique injury, d'Arnaud was a surprise offensive star against the AL West-leading Rangers. He entered with six RBIs on the season before driving in six Friday night. Given an opportunity to join Bob Horner in 1986 against Montreal as the only Atlanta players to hit four homers in a game, d'Arnaud grounded out to shortstop Corey Seager in the eighth.
