Plays hero in ninth Duvall went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Marlins.
Impact His third homer of the year was a dramatic one. With the score tied 1-1 in the ninth inning, Duvall hooked a slider from Miami closer Brandon Kintzler into the left-field corner and clanked it off the foul pole for what proved to be the winning run. Despite the return of Nick Markakis, Duvall has maintained his spot in the starting lineup thanks to the availability of the DH, and it will be hard for manager Brian Snitker to send the veteran to the bench if he keeps delivering big hits like this.

Heroic off bench Duvall went 2-for-2 with a double and three RBI during the win in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Phillies.
Impact After starting in three consecutive contests, Duvall came off the bench for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader. However, he provided a bases-clearing double in the fifth inning that gave the team some insurance runs. Duvall's playing time could take a hit with Nick Markakis back in the fold for Atlanta, but he proved Sunday that he can still make an impact.

Sits after three straight starts Duvall is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Phillies.
Impact The right-handed-hitting Duvall will head to the bench after starting each of the Braves' past three games, during which he went 2-for-8 with a home run and a walk. He should still have a path to making regular starts versus left-handed pitching, but Duvall's hopes of settling into a full-time role have likely taken a hit after Nick Markakis (personal) was activated from the restricted list Wednesday.

Braves' Markakis hits walkoff HR after opting into season
Nick Markakis capped his first start of the season with a game-ending home run in the ninth inning that lifted the Atlanta Braves to a 4-3 win over the Toronto Blue JaysAUGUST 7, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Launches second homer Duvall went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays.
Impact Duvall accounted for all of Atlanta's scoring with his seventh-inning shot off right-hander Thomas Hatch. The Braves recently lost Matt Adams (hamstring) to the IL, but they got Nick Markakis (personal) back, so chances are Duvall will continue to start primarily against lefties.

Shines in no-decision Matz allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out seven in six innings, but he took a no-decision Saturday versus the Braves.
Impact Matz was excellent, with the only blemish on his line the result of a second-inning Adam Duvall solo home run. Matz had 15 quality starts in 30 starts last season and he's already added his first this year. The 29-year-old southpaw lines up to face the Red Sox at home Thursday.

Opens scoring with homer Duvall went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the Mets.
Impact Duvall knocked his first homer of 2020 against Mets starter Steven Matz in the second inning. Duvall's other run in the game came as he was the initial runner in the 10th inning and he scored on a Dansby Swanson single to put the Braves ahead 3-2. The 31-year-old Duvall figures to serve in a platoon with Marcell Ozuna in left field, but he's also capable of playing right field and should see near-everyday playing time.
