Courtesy of a leaky bullpen that has been taxed by some recent subpar performances from starting pitchers, the Braves have now lost each of the past three games in which they have scored at least eight runs. They went 135-2 when tallying this total over the past six seasons (2009-14).
"Every aspect of our [offensive] game has been pretty solid," Gonzalez said. "We've just got to figure out how to keep the opposition from scoring runs."
The Braves have managed to go 4-8 while producing a .774 OPS and averaging five runs over their past 12 games.
