Braves News
Ronald Acuña Jr. turned heads with his first three-hit game of the season, contributing to the Braves' win streak, which now stands at five after their 80th victory against the Rockies. Though the bats were lively, with Michael Harris II also chipping in a homer, the pitching staff was challenged by the Rockies' attack, allowing eleven singles and a double. Meanwhile, the injury front continues to be a concern as both Spencer Schwellenbach and Hurston Waldrep have been ruled out for the year due to elbow surgeries, leaving a thin rotation. Despite a successful sweep over the Dodgers, the Braves face an uphill battle for a first-round playoff bye with their September schedule stacked against them. On the bright side, with a solid record of 79-55, the foundation feels stable as they gear up for the final stretch of the season.
