The Atlanta Braves continue to roll as they extended their winning streak to 11 straight games with a 5-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Braves didn’t have to wait long before getting on the scoreboard. William Contreras stepped to the plate with two outs in the second and lined a 2-1 fastball off the foul pole in left for a solo home run. That was Contreras’ ninth home run in just his 27th game of the season. Adam Duvall made it back-to-back homers as he launched one into the Hank Aaron Terrace in left to give Kyle Wright a 2-0 lead.
