The Braves are currently putting it all on the line in an attempt to pull off a rare series win in Los Angeles against the Dodgers. One of the biggest examples of that has been Eli White’s performance in this game. In an extremely high-leverage situation where the Dodgers had Max Muncy at the plate with the bases loaded and two outs in the sixth inning of a 4-0 game in favor of the Braves.
Muncy crushed it out to right field for a line drive that would’ve drove in maybe three runs had it not been caught. Instead, Eli White ran directly into the wall and held onto the ball to make the inning-ending catch.
Eli White did stay in the game to take an at-bat in the seventh inning but he was clearly feeling the effects of his crash into the wall and exited the game. We have no word on what the reason was but considering it was shortly after that big-time slam, you could probably infer that he probably got his bell rung as a result.
We’ll update this post once we get more information.
