The Atlanta Braves concluded a 4 game set with the San Francisco Giants Thursday afternoon, winning 5-4 in 13 innings. With that, the Braves took 3 out of 4 and head now to St. Louis to meet the Cardinals for a holiday weekend series. Let’s look at the 3 biggest takeaways from Thursday’s win.
1. The Bullpen is rounding into form
The Braves bullpen was the story to me for Thursday’s game. Starter Kevin Gausman gave the team 6 innings of 3 run ball, but the bullpen locked it down after that with only Sean Newcomb allowing a run in the 7th on a Tyler Austin solo shot.
