The Atlanta Braves might be experiencing one of their few little hiccups as they head to Pittsburgh to open a four-game series against the Pirates on Monday.

The Braves, who sit atop the major league standings, have lost two in a row, thus dropping a series against the Cubs in Chicago over the weekend.

They had won six of seven games before that series.

"I don't think there was any excuses other than we just didn't play good," Braves manager Brian Snitker said of the back-to-back losses.
