Atlanta's starting rotation has had a rough stretch over the past week and fans are wondering if and when things will get better.

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves are still the best team in baseball, and they are still in complete control of the NL East with a 10-game lead over second place Philadelphia. Still, they’ve been sputtering a bit lately, and many of their problems have stemmed from their starting rotation struggling over the past six games resulting in a 2-4 record.

This week, they played the Pittsburgh Pirates in a four-game set they split, winning the middle two contests, but their starters made the offense have to fight back and win those two games.
