Braves News
Bryce Elder continues to dazzle on the mound, lowering his ERA to a staggering 0.77 after seven strikeouts in a brilliant scoreless start against the Marlins, further solidifying the Braves' impressive status with the second-best record in MLB. After a narrow 6-5 victory yesterday, the Braves seem to have righted the ship, riding a hot streak that includes a +18 run differential over the last week. Dominic Smith played a crucial role in last night's win, showing that even with Chris Sale struggling, the team can rely on its depth.
