The Braves won their seventh in a row on Monday night, beating the Padres 2-0 to improve their record to 13-4.
The early offense continued once again as Ronald Acuña Jr. shot a ball past Manny Machado to lead things off, and after a sharp line out from Matt Olson, Austin Riley rocketed a ball down the left field line for a 2-0 lead.

The offense remained quiet until the fifth when the club loaded the bases with no one out ahead of Olson and Riley, but a brutal sequence occurred; Olson struck out on three pitches and Riley swung over a first-pitch changeup for a breezy 5-4-3 double play.
