Braves rookie Jason Heyward has done it again. He hit a game-tying homerun last night in the bottom of the ninth against the Phillies, immediately after Troy Glaus had hit a two-run shot. Nate McLouth won the game with a walk-off homerun in the bottom of the 10th to give the Braves a 4-3 win.
Not only has Heyward hit a three-run homerun in his first big league at-bat against Cubs ace Carlos Zambrano, delivered a walk-off single on Sunday against the Rockies, but now does this with the game on the line. He is hitting .298 with 4 homeruns and 16 RBIs already this season and has an on-base percentage of .411.
All I can say is that the legend is growing for this kid who isn't even 21 yet. I can't remember seeing a performance like this from a rookie (especially one so young) in a long time. Soak it up folks. Game 2 of the series with the Phillies is tonight at 5:10 p.m. MT on ESPN, espn3.com, MLB Extra Innings and mlb.tv.
