Atlanta Braves news and notes from Friday The Atlanta Braves pulled off another late-inning comeback to defeat the Washington Nationals 3-2 on Friday night and extend their win streak to six games. Heading into this matchup, AJ Smith-Shawver’s first career start was the biggest headline. He ended his night with 5.1 innings under his belt and allowed two runs, none of which were earned. He had an underwhelming 2/2 BB/K ratio but ultimately surrendered hardly any hard hit balls.
Following the game, the biggest storyline changed to Orlando Arcia, who was clutch in the eighth and plated the go-ahead run with an infield single.

“I honestly just focus on making good contact and driving in the run any way possible,” Arcia said through a translator. “I just put the ball in play and whatever happens, happens.”
Arcia has been on a tear, hitting .370 over his last seven games. He has managed ten hits, one homer, and six RBI.
Friday night’s win accounts for the Braves’ fifth consecutive come-from-behind win. The Braves look to increase the win streak this afternoon as the series with the Washington Nationals continues.

Jesse Cole owns seven yellow tuxedos. He shows me during our Zoom interview, adjusting his camera to fit an open closet door into the frame: sure enough, six canary-yellow tuxes, hanging at the ready. He’s wearing the seventh while we speak—top hat included.

404area has new update 1 day ago Atlanta United recalls Jackson Conway from loan, moves to Atlanta United 2
Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports
Atlanta United brings their homegrown forward back after limited playing time on loan Atlanta United announced today it has recalled Jackson Conway from Phoenix Rising FC. The striker was loaned to the USL Championship club on March 17, but playing time for the homegrown was limited to just eight total appearances in league play and two starts in U.S. Open Cup action. He’s only played 51 minutes in USL Championship so far this season. In a subsequent move, Atlanta sent Conway on a season-long loan to ATL UTD 2 which includes a right to recall to the First Team.
Not only was the playing time limited, but Conway didn’t have any success on this loan spell. He didn’t score and picked up a red card in his limited appearances. Now he’ll have a chance to come back to a familiar environment to hopefully see the goals flowing again as they did during his best spell in 2020.
Despite only playing 10 games in 2020 (8 starts) due to covid interruptions and injury, Conway scored 6 goals. In 2022, he scored 11 goals in 24 starts in 2022. It stands to reason that the next 6 months will prove pivotal for Conway as it relates to his career with Atlanta United.
