Abrams' growth as a hitter this season has been remarkable, with his 28th home run and 83rd RBI, all being considered career-bests. His three walks in this game also set a new career-high in that stat with 51 games left to play. Despite this, the Braves have been cautious about using him in his next two plate appearances. Abrams has become a significant player in the National League, with two more months left to go.
