Atlanta Braves three key players are departing from the club after series of…
The Atlanta Braves have just completed a three-game series sweep against the Detroit Tigers, with a 7-0 shutout on Wednesday afternoon. Something exciting came out of this series, and it’s exactly what fans have been asking for: the Braves offense to finally start hitting again. The last two months have been dreadful for Atlanta’s bats, producing some of the worst hitting in the major leagues.
Not long ago, the 20-win Chicago White Sox had scored more runs on the season than the Atlanta Braves. With all the offensive woes, it was nearly time to hit the panic button, especially with the Philadelphia Phillies pulling away with a once 10-game lead in the division on June 11th. However, it looks like the Braves offense has done an about-face in the last seven games.
Since June 13, Atlanta has won six of its last seven games, winning two series against the Tampa Bay Rays and the Tigers. Changes have been made recently with the injury to Michael Harris II. Players like Jarred Kelenic, Austin Riley, Matt Olson, and Ozzie Albies have stepped up. And of course, you can’t forget the newest addition to the dugout, Snitbear.
