Drake Baldwin Serves as DH for Braves Against Left-Hander Shota Imanaga

Atlanta Braves rookie Drake Baldwin was inserted into the starting lineup as the designated hitter for Wednesday's series finale against Chicago Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga. Baldwin enters the matchup with strong career success against Imanaga, having posted a 1.333 OPS with one home run across six previous at-bats against the southpaw. The Braves hope Baldwin's bat can help spark an offense that has dropped to 16th in run production since September began.
