The Atlanta Braves will continue their road trip Tuesday when they will begin a two-game series against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. Atlanta avoided a third-straight series loss Sunday with a 4-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Atlanta is 64-34 on the season and currently holds an 11.5-game lead over the Phillies and the Marlins in the NL East.
The Braves got a jump on the Trade Deadline Monday with the additions of relievers Pierce Johnson and Taylor Hearn. Atlanta acquired Johnson from the Rockies in exchange for minor league pitchers Tanner Gordon and Victor Vodnik.
