Take a look around the league with Big League Stew's daily wrap up. We'll hit on all of the biggest moments from the day that you may have missed, while providing highlights, photos and interesting stats. There's really good timing. And then there's impeccable timing. The timing of Christian Bethancourt's first career home run was the latter if you ask the Atlanta Braves, as it helped them earn a 5-4 walkoff victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The home run capped a really big night for Atlanta's rookie catcher. Bethancourt had three hits total, including an earlier RBI single in the fourth which gave Atlanta a 3-2 lead. He also singled and scored in the seventh, meaning he was connected to Atlanta's final three runs. For Pittsburgh, Andrew McCutchen stayed hot by hitting his eighth home run. Gregory Polanco tied the game with a clutch two-out, two-run single in the eighth, but that only served to set up Bethancourt's heroics while also robbing Julio Teheran of a victory. With the win, Atlanta snapped a three-game losing streak in which they were outscored 26-22.
