The Atlanta Braves are currently getting ready to hit the field for Game 3 of their NLDS series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Braves tied the series up on Sunday evening with an impressive bullpen pitching performance and will now look to hop into the driver's seat in front of their home fans on Tuesday evening.

The Braves have been counting on unsung heroes throughout these playoffs, including Rowdy Tellez, who was recently inserted into the lineup and is still looking to see his bat wake up.

However, he is still finding other ways to contribute, recently saying he is happy “grabbing sunflower seeds when people need them,” per Reggie Chatman Jr. of 11 Alive News on X, formerly Twitter.

It's certainly a humble perspective and an embodiment of the team-first mantra that the Braves have used to get to this point in the playoffs.

Atlanta has been faced with adversity since before Opening Day of this season got underway, having dealt with rampant injury concerns, particularly among their pitching staff.

On Sunday in Los Angeles, manager Walt Weiss made the gutsy decision to run out an all-bullpen lineup instead of rushing ace Chris Sale back on short rest, and the move paid dividends, as Atlanta's staff largely shut down Los Angeles' big bats and helped the Braves tie the series at 1-1 heading back to Atlanta.
