Atlanta Braves
National League fields all-Braves infield
July 12, 2023
NL manager Rob Thomson treated Braves fans to what they wanted in the bottom of the fifth. The NL fielded an all-Braves infield: first baseman Matt Olson, second baseman Ozzie Albies and third baseman Austin Riley entered the game with Orlando Arcia remaining at shortstop.
The only missing piece: Murphy was lifted for Dodgers catcher Will Smith. Murphy and Acuña’s All-Star appearances were complete.
