Five games ago, the Atlanta Braves were at .500, having split the first 84 games of the season. Today the Braves got shellacked 11-3 and go into the All-Stars break riding a five game losing streak.
Charlie Blackmon killed us all series long. Today he went three for five, scored a run and drove in four. Blackmon put the Rockies ahead for good in the bottom of the sixth, singling in two runs. This was not the pivotal at bat in the game, however. That came after the Braves had knotted the score at three in the top of the frame.
