The Atlanta Braves named Brian Snitker manager on Tuesday, rewarding him for reversing the team’s direction in his role as interim manager this season.

The Braves finished last in the NL East but won 20 of their last 30 games under Snitker, who was named interim manager on May 17 after Fredi Gonzalez was fired. Snitker had a 59-65 record, including 37-35 after the All-Star break.

Snitker, 61, was hired only for the 2017 season with a club option for 2018.
