Over the first 16 innings of this weekend’s series at Wrigley Field against the Cubs, everything was coming up Braves. Ozzie Albies was showing the world that he’s not the only young player whose surname starts with “A” that we should be excited about. Dansby Swanson continued on his quest to prove that his struggles during 2017 were only a bump in what should be a smooth road for him from here on out. Freddie Freeman was being Freddie Freeman.
Sean Newcomb didn’t have an excellent starting outing but he did about as well as you could have asked of him considering the conditions.
