Baldwin cut Atlanta's deficit to 4-2 with an RBI double in the third inning. That double extended Baldwin's hitting streak to nine games, during which he has gone 15-for-38 (.395) with two home runs, six RBI and four doubles. His .813 OPS across 513 plate appearances is fourth-best among qualified catchers behind Hunter Goodman, Gabriel Moreno and Liam Hicks.

Baldwin slugged Yoshinobu Yamamoto's first pitch of the contest over the right-field wall to give Atlanta a quick lead. That ended up being the only run scored by either team, as Yamamoto and Chris Sale squared off in a pitchers' duel. Baldwin extended his on-base streak to a modest five games with the homer, and over that stretch he's reached base in 10 of 21 plate appearances. However, his power has been mostly absent of late -- prior to Thursday, he had gone deep just once over his previous 30 contests.
