- The Braves catcher extended the streak during Thursday's 17-2 win over the Diamondbacks, keeping his run in each of Atlanta's first seven games alive.
- Baldwin scored on an Austin Riley double in an eight-run fifth inning that continued after a successful replay challenge showed he beat a throw to first.
- Through seven games he is hitting about .286 with three home runs and a 1.018 OPS, helping Atlanta open 5-2 after last year’s slow start.
- He is the third Braves player since 1900 to score in each of the first seven games, joining Hank Aaron in 1957 and Jimmy Collins in 1900.
- Reports differ on whether he scored two or three runs in the 17-2 game, though all accounts confirm at least one run that kept the streak intact.
