Atlanta will go for a sweep on Sunday.
If you needed a reminder for how quick things can turn in a normal MLB season, then Atlanta Braves served that right up. After starting the season 0-4, the Braves have won four straight and are back to .500. Atlanta will go for a sweep Sunday when they conclude their three-game series with the Phillies on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball.

Friday night at Truist Park was amazing. The Braves won their fifth-straight home opener there thanks to a 4-for-5 performance from Ronald Acuna Jr. and six strong innings from starting pitcher Charlie Morton.

Freddie Freeman homered for the second straight game to overcome an early deficit.
The Atlanta Braves secured a series win over the Philadelphia Phillies with a 5-4 win Saturday night at Truist Park.
It was a tough start for Ian Anderson who needed 30 pitches to escape the first inning. Anderson walked Andrew McCutchen to lead off the game. After a fly out by Rhys Hoskins, Bryce Harper and Alec Bohm recorded back to back singles to load the bases. Didi Gregorius...

The Braves had themselves some fun on Friday evening.
Braves NewsBraves derail Wheeler, cruise to 8-1 home opener victory
The home opener for the Braves went quite well. Charlie Morton was excellent, Ronald Acuna Jr. posted one his best games as a pro, and the Braves rolled to an easy 8-1 win.

Ronald Acuña Jr. had a huge homer and a huge night as the Braves got all sorts of revenge on the Phillies
Now, that’s more like it.
After being dominated by Zack Wheeler on both sides of the ball last Saturday, the Braves obliterated him and the Phillies for a big home opener victory. Ronald Acuña Jr. was the master of ceremonies for the happy occasion, going 4-for-5 with an epic go-ahead homer and a run-saving catch, while Charlie Morton carved...

Zack Wheeler vs. Charlie Morton
Here we go for the seventh time this season, and the first featuring the Braves at home.
Will Charlie Morton have a happy homecoming? Can the Braves do anything against Zack Wheeler? Can they at least stop him from reaching base? Will Jean Segura do anything but swing at a pitch in the dirt with two strikes? How many homers will Ronald Acuña Jr. hit?
Stay tuned.

The Braves got their bench back in order before the home opener this evening.
One of the more fun stories from spring training this year was the emergence of Ehire Adrianza as the utility infielder version of Babe Ruth. No, that performance was not and is not sustainable, but the guy played extremely well and seemingly won a bench spot over perennial bench player Johan Camargo who had been expected to handle the utility infield duties...

It’s the usual
In 2018, the Braves played 162 games and their most commonly-used lineup happened just 10 times. One year later, there was a bit more stability, with one lineup seeing play 21 times, and another 11. During the pandemic-shortened 2020, everything went to hell, as the Braves used 51 batting orders in 60 games, and the most they used any particular order was five times.
Well, 2021 is not looking much like 2020 in this regard, as the Braves’...

The Morton-Wheeler matchup went poorly for the Braves in Philadelphia. Can they get a better result at home?
It’s been a while since the Braves were able to take the field at Truist Park (sorry, I still can’t take that name seriously): October 1, 2020, was their last game under Georgia skies, even though they went on to compete in two other postseason series after that. Since then, they’ve had an offseason, a Grapefruit League stint in Florida, and oh...
With Mike Soroka seemingly close to a return, the Braves opted to begin the season with a four-man rotation of Max Fried, Charlie Morton, Ian Anderson, and Drew Smyly.
Last year’s NL MVP is off to a sluggish start, recording just two hits in his first 18 at-bats (.111 average). One of those knocks did leave the yard, though, and in typical Freddie fashion, he already has five walks — the most on the team (Marcell Ozuna is next with three).
