The Atlanta Braves won their last series, but it sure didn’t feel like it.
Atlanta’s struggles in game threes continued last night, as they lost out on a sweep of the New York Mets thanks to a walk-off homer by outfielder Brandon Nimmo, spoiling a good start from rebounding Bryce Elder.
But Atlanta’s moving on, focusing on the incoming 2nd-place Chicago Cubs, who are arriving at Truist Park for a three-game set. Game one features the two teams’ respective ERA leaders in Chicago’s Shota Imanaga and Atlanta’s Reynaldo López.
