The Braves came out on fire offensively from the first batter as Ronald Acuña Jr. launched a leadoff home run and everything was downhill from there. Kolby Allard picked up his first career win as Atlanta romped the Marlins to the tune of 11 runs.
Alex Anthopoulos and his staff did not sit by idly today as the trade deadline came and went. Instead Atlanta went out and got Kevin Gausman from the Orioles who has every tool necessary to become a vital part of the Braves starting rotation and did not part with any major prospects in the process.
