The Atlanta Braves will continue their road trip Monday when they begin a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Atlanta began the trip by splitting four games in San Diego. Sunday’s 2-1 loss dropped them back below .500 for the season at 5-6.
Matt Olson continued his hot start against the Padres going 7-for-15 at the plate with two doubles, a homer and three walks. He is hitting .421/.551/.684 with a 240 wRC+ for the season. As hot as Olson has been, the bottom of Atlanta’s order continues to struggle. Eddie Rosario is 1-for-29 for the season and has more errors in the field (3), than hits.
