Mauricio Dubón hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning of the Braves’ 4-1 defeat of the Cubs on Wednesday.

The Braves scored three runs in the eighth on singles from Michael Harris II and Ha-Seong Kim, a go-ahead double from Mike Yastrzemski off the bench (on which Kim was thrown out at home) and then a two-run homer from Dubón that took away any ninth-inning drama. Dubón’s homer was his third. He’s really cooled off at the plate after a great start — he came into the night hitting .209/.294/.297 in his previous 25 games — but the Braves are still looking at him as a regular with Kim back, which should mean plenty of starts in left field and at shortstop. Things will get a little more complicated once Ronald Acuña Jr. returns.
