Braves News
Bryce Elder continues to impress, maintaining a top 10 ERA in MLB as the Braves sit comfortably at 22-9 and atop the division. The pitching staff showed flashes of brilliance, yet a thin bullpen nearly let last night's 4-3 win against the Detroit Tigers slip away. While the Braves are riding a hot streak, going 6-1 this past week with a +14 run differential, concerns linger over Tyler Kinley's effectiveness in high-leverage situations. Offensively, Matt Olson and Drake Baldwin are fueling the lineup, but the team needs to tighten up the bullpen if they want to sustain this momentum. As Ed Mangan bids farewell after 35 years with the organization, the Braves are at a crossroads: build on their current success or risk losing their grip on first place.
