Aaron Blair has been recalled from Gwinnett as the Braves try for their first series win on the West Coast since April 2012. Unfortunately, Madison Bumgarner stands in their way.
The last time the Braves won a road series against an NL West opponent was April 2013, over three seasons ago (they won a series in Coors against the Rockies). For series wins closer to the Pacific Ocean, you have to go back another year, to April 2012 versus the Dodgers. But, the Braves have a golden opportunity to finally get over this particular hump, coming off the heels of a 3-1 victory last night.
