This is getting fun. Just a week ago, the Braves finally broke the odd streak of non-streaks by winning 2 games in a row. In defeating the Reds 8-6 last night, they won their 7th of the last 8, and they now have their first 8-2 stretch of the season. We can now refer to the streaking Atlanta Braves—and it’s the right kind of streaking.
Oh, and because the Phillies lost to the Dodgers again, they are now tied for first. The Mets are just a game back. We’ve got us a full fledged pennant race.
