JR Ritchie Shines in MLB Debut After Historic First Pitch HR

Pitching prospect JR Ritchie made a memorable MLB debut for the Braves, called up from Triple-A Gwinnett. Despite allowing a home run on his very first major league pitch, Ritchie settled in to pitch seven outstanding innings. He became only the second pitcher in the last 50 years to allow a home run on his first pitch and still earn a win, contributing to the Braves' fifth consecutive series victory.
