It's April 29th. This is MLB News Today Baseball Coverage, powered by AI. The Atlanta Braves keep rolling with the MLB Best 21 wins. Thanks to some under-the-radar arms, stepping up big in a 5-2 victory over the Tigers at Truis Park. Martin Perez, who wasn't even on the opening roster and got designated earlier this year, tossed five scoreless innings in the start. BDA Fuentes, mostly chilling in Triple-A, backed him with two clean frames from the pen. Injuries have tested their pitching depth, like Dylan Lee on paternity leave and closer Razela Glacius, sideline with shoulder inflammation. But these call-ups filled the gaps perfectly, bridging to set up Man Tyler Kinley and saving the bullpen from overload. Azeal be sealed it with his sixth homer, dodging an early closer situation. Fans are buzzing about how these guys are turning heads. Fuentes is the Braves' number three prospect, and 91st overall in MLB ranks. Ronald Acunia Jr. ripped two doubles, one driving in a run, while Mike Yastoszymsky

grabbed his third multi-hit game with a double and RBI single. As their fifth shut-out pitching performance this young season, Perez bounced back strong, dropping his ERA to 2.22 over six outings after relieving in their last win. Fuentes shook off a rough start last week against the Nationals, where he gave up four early runs. Eglacius is already throwing and might return in the first half of May. With depth like this, the Braves are proving injuries won't slow their hot streak, expect more surprises as they chase that top spot.
