Braves look to pad wild-card edge as they visit Angels

August 16 - Having taken care of business in San Francisco, the Atlanta Braves will look to complete a winning trip when they open a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night in Anaheim, Calif.

With three wins in four games at San Francisco, the Braves built their lead to two games over the New York Mets in the multi-team race for the final National League wild-card spot.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker was less bothered by a 6-0 loss in San Francisco on Thursday, a result that prevented a four-game sweep, than he was by two defeats in three days at Colorado to start the trip.
