Entering the final game of a three-game set in St. Louis, the Braves have an opportunity to sweep the Cardinals on Thursday. This would put Atlanta over .500 and give them three consecutive victories, which almost feels like an impossible feat to accomplish this season. However, recent additions have augmented the roster and the club seems to have been legitimately improved over the past week.
The Braves saw two flashes of brilliance from Touki Toussaint following his recent callup. The right-hander was outstanding against both the Padres and Phillies, inspiring hope that command issues from the past would remain in the rearview mirror.
