The Atlanta Braves went to extra innings before Sean Murphy got to hit his first home run as an Atlanta Brave. It was also the first walk-off of his entire career as the Braves beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-4 in the first game of the series.

Kyle Wright will start Tuesday

All signs point to Kyle Wright being the Atlanta starter Tuesday night. According to multiple reports, he will be activated from the 15-day IL sometime before tomorrow's action to start against the Reds.

This will be his 2023 season debut. The 27-year-old touts a 23-12 career record and a 4.13 ERA, and led all of MLB last year with 21 wins. He's been slowed this season by a sore shoulder, necessitating a cortisone injection in January that delayed the start to his spring training and required an IL stint (and minor league rehab game) to build up for the season
