VIDEO: Braves' Dansby Swanson Blazed Around the Bases and Nearly Caught Matt Joyce at Home Plate

Sure, he was only one base behind Joyce, but it's still wildly impressive watching him barely beat the throw at home while missing his teammate by mere inches on the slide.
That was definitely the sweetest moment of the Braves' 7-2 victory over the Blue Jays.
