If nothing else, the Braves certainly answered one question question about themselves as July came to a close.
This team may be the most accurate definition of a .500 team in baseball history.
#Braves are 8-9 since the break, and have neither won nor lost consecutive games in that span, a new MLB record for such absurdities. (Their streak officially started with win in Game 2 after break, since they lost last game before break and first game after break.)

Once again, after the Braves played with great balance in a 8-1 victory on Saturday, they missed out on multiple scoring opportunities on Sunday and lost 2-1.
