The Braves just can’t seem to break .500. But few, especially yours truly, thought they’d be anywhere near break-even at the break. Even without Freddie, the offense, save for one really bad week, has rebounded, albeit vs. the Phils and Rockies.
That’s likely to continue tonight in Coors Field, with one of the worst pitchers in the majors on the mound for the Rockies. Yes, Kyle Kendrick has enjoyed considerable success against the Bravos, but that’s a pretty useless stat considering almost every Brave is new to the team.
In other news, Tyrell Jenkins dominated in his debut with Gwinnett, hurling seven shutout innings, walking one and striking out 6.
