Braves Star Makes Heartfelt Statement After Game 2
Mauricio Dubón finished his night with one hit, one RBI and one walk.
After the game, he was interviewed by Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports.
Rosenthal: “You played for some really good Houston Astros teams. You played all season for this one. What makes these Braves so special?”
Dubón: “We don’t give up. I think that’s the big one. We don’t give up. That’s the mentality. I think everybody gets along, too. Everybody pulling for each other. You come in, you sub. I think that’s the main mentality we have, just passing the baton. And I think the guys love it and care for each other.”
Looking At The Braves
