What happened: The Braves used their account to single out catcher Drake Baldwin with a short message ahead of Saturday's scheduled game against the Rangers. Atlanta and Texas had not yet started play, with the score at 0-0.

Why it matters: The post comes during a stretch in which Baldwin has repeatedly factored into late-game Atlanta scoring. The Braves sit at 50-37 on the season, riding a one-game winning streak into the matchup.

By the numbers: Atlanta is 50-37 overall, scoring 4.8 runs per game and allowing 3.8, on a current one-game winning streak. Texas is 45-42, scoring 4.3 and allowing 4.4, also on a one-game winning streak.

What to watch: The game between the Rangers and Braves has yet to begin; first pitch and any lineup notes involving Baldwin are still to come.
