With the win on Saturday night, the Atlanta Braves have won their third game in a row and have won their fourth consecutive series. Since they dropped six in a row, they’ve won 10 of their last 14.
They’re getting a bit of a cushion again for a playoff spot and are five games back of the Philadelphia Phillies for the division crown with plenty of baseball left to go.
Much of this success is credited to the guys who arrived in a patchwork-effort to create a lineup. This team has faced a plethora of injuries to its roster and has had to assemble what it could from spare parts, some tossed aside by their previous teams.
