Shortstop Dansby Swanson, born and raised in the north Atlanta suburbs, had a big dream come true Wednesday night. Swanson, the Braves' top prospect and the No. 1 overall draft pick of 2015, had his contract selected from Double-A Mississippi and went 2 for 4 batting eighth in his debut. It came in another lackluster effort by the Braves - a 10-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins in a matchup of the two worst teams in the majors.
