ATLANTA — Braves manager Brian Snitker couldn’t believe how quickly 23-year-old shortstop Dansby Swanson took control of a tough situation in ninth inning. “I was just thinking about a play kind of like that and just trying to be aggressive,” said Swanson, the No. Camargo had gone to a knee for a backhand stab of pinch-hitter Jesus Aguilar’s hard-hit grounder in the eighth and threw to second base, starting an inning-ending double play. “The ball Aguilar hit was a great double play, and the play that Domingo hit, that’s a really nice play,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. Keon Bronxton’s 12th homer cut the Brewers’ deficit in the fourth, but the Braves opened a 4-1 lead in the fifth when Phillips hit an RBI double and scored on Flowers’ single.
