That makes 9 wins in Atlanta’s last 13 games and a 15-15 record in their last 30 contests (12-14 since the All-Star Break).
Erick Aybar extended his hitting streak to 14 while Ender inciarte’s stalled at 19. Aybar’s run now becomes the third-longest active streak behind Carlos Gonzalez (17) and David Dahl (15). Aybar has 20 hits over than span, 5 RBI, and just 5 strikeouts, hitting .385 in the process.
Atlanta’s 2-1 victory assures another series win: that’s now 3 in a row (all over NL Central foes) and 4 out of 5, with a 2-2 push against the Phillies mixed in.
