Past time to let Richard Rodriquez close.
First undefeated 3 city road trip since 1992. Started the road trip trailing in the division and finished no worse than 5 games up. Crazy.
Nice to have a little room to play .500 ball.
True but Atlanta did just what they needed to do on this trip against the bottom teams. Probably more. Three consecutive road sweeps against anyone is impressive.
Philly wraps up their series with San Diego tonight, then go home for two against Tampa, four against Arizona, three against the Nats and three against Miami.
.500 ball the rest of the way should take the division.
The Braves way too early to worry about it magic number is 34.
Pregame note said this is the first time in 120 years two teams with a 9 game winning streak have met.
Braves' Soroka: Re-tearing Achilles 'floored me'
Braves pitcher Mike Soroka, speaking Monday for the first time since getting the shocking news that he re-tore his Achilles and would need another major operation, said, "This process is not something I'd wish on somebody."
He's in the booth tonight on the Braves homer broadcast with Chip and Francoeur.Braves' Soroka: Re-tearing Achilles 'floored me'

Ozzie gifted a 4th strike with 2 outs in the 9th and beats out a dribbler to third. Bases jacked. Soler walked run in. Braves have chased Chapman from the game and Freddie will face Wandy Peralta with 2 outs.
Edit to add: Mets and Phillies both lost today
I tried to watch the game on the MLB Network last night but it was the Yankees broadcast. Why wouldn't they have the home team feed?
It was on the MLB network with the Yankees broadcasters. They were huge homers and very hard to listen to. David Cone of course.
Freeman got called out at home trying to score from first. He was safe, but for whatever reason they felt there wasn’t enough to overturn the original call. There were four or five angles, which none of them were good, but he was still clearly safe.
Joc got tossed in the 4th after he was hit by the pitch. The ump said he swung for strike three. No appeal and I didn’t think it was a swing.
Kinda of a weird scheduling quirk has the Braves off for two consecutive days. That should help before the Giants come to Truist for the weekend.
For us as fans, yes. For the players I think it has to be refreshing.
The Phillies next ten are four at home against Arizona, then three on the road at Washington and Miami. The Braves just swept that level of competition.
The Braves, after their two day respite, have three at home against San Fran then travel west for three at LA and four at Colorado. The next ten game may certainly determine the division.

I was excited to see the closing of the road trip at Colorado. Though, Colorado is pretty good at home this season.
I haven't looked before but what a disparity between the home, 43-22, and their road, 15-47, records!
Yep. He’s a great Nole and good dude. Was watching with my 10 y/o and told him of the time Buster played all 9 positions in one game. He was impressed.
Damnit! I was watching Dowling-SEP first game of the season on local NBC. Sweet. Dbacks just took Phillies to extras. Please Dbacks, keep making Phillies your biatch.
Game saving because Smith had already given up a homerun. Snitker needs to get him out of the closers role.
If the Braves were starting to have some doubts about themselves after the Yanks games, this should settle that.
