Burkhalter’s Brief MLB Debut | Atlanta Braves News

Relief pitcher Blake Burkhalter got his big league debut on Tuesday, pitching one inning while surrendering a run, a hit, and a walk — but notching one strikeout. He was sent back to Triple-A Gwinnett by Wednesday. His strong performance in the minors — 16 games, 1.48 ERA, 1.15 WHIP — made his brief stint all the more notable. To fill his spot, the Braves called up Elieser Hernández, a familiar face who’s bounced around the organization and has a 4.80 ERA in limited action this season. It’s a fast-moving roster shuffle, but Hernández is now stepping into the spotlight at the major league level. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
