Four teams, the Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros and Cleveland Guardians, went 5-1 on the week, but Atlanta stood out by sweeping the Detroit Tigers at home and then taking two of three in New York against the suddenly injury-riddled Yankees.
Atlanta Braves Not Done Yet
Atlanta's pitchers held the Tigers to two runs in the three-game series and then held the Yankees to one run in two of three games, giving up eight in the other, to finish the week, allowing just 12 runs over six games, while scoring 25.
In the process, the Braves earned our "Living the High Life" award for the week, but they're going to need more weeks like that if they hope to close the seven-game lead of the Philadelphia Phillies.
