Atlanta Braves news and notes from Friday.
For the first time since 2017, the Atlanta Braves have lost six straight games. Friday night’s 8-4 loss to the New York Mets extended the Braves’ skid and placed them at third in the NL East.
Charlie Morton got the start and lasted just 2.2 frames. He surrendered seven runs, five of them earned.
Adam Duvall homered twice, and Marcell Ozuna hit a solo shot, but apart from that, a lack of timely hitting...
J.D. Martinez, Mark Vientos and Francisco Alvarez all homered in the third inning Friday night for the host New York Mets, who continued their surge with an 8-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves in the second game of their four-game series.

The Braves have their longest losing streak since 2017 and are now looking up at the Mets in the standings.
Charlie Morton failed to make it out of the third inning as the Atlanta Braves dropped their sixth-straight game in an 8-3 loss to the New York Mets.
Morton’s evening got off to a good enough start by recording a pair of strikeouts in a perfect first. The Braves’ offense staked him to an early lead against Kodai Senga in the second....

Braves have two of the top 40 overall, and four of the top 60 overall
We are less than a week away from the trade deadline and Fangraphs just put out their updated Top 100 list and the Atlanta Braves find themselves with four players, including a rapid riser.
Coming at the top is AJ Smith-Shawver who lands at 23 overall. Fangraphs report on him, which I highly suggest to check out, had this to say about Smith-Shawver:
Smith-Shawver may have some...

Charlie Morton gets the start Friday as the Braves look to snap a five-game losing streak.
At various times this season, it has felt like the Atlanta Braves have reached the breaking point. A great start in April has been followed by nothing but mediocrity. In fact, mediocre is probably a little strong for what we have seen from the Braves over this five-game losing streak. Thursday’s disappointing loss harkened back to...

We’ve reached the pinnacle of our list, and the top name is a familiar one in this spot
It’s time to talk about the best prospects in the Atlanta Braves system, and many of the names at the top of this list are ones that have are repeats from our preseason list. The only significant graduation this year has been Spencer Schwellenbach, leaving the talented (and currently injured) top pitchers still rookie eligible. The Braves have as many as...
The trade deadline is less than a week away, and the Braves are expected to be busy as Alex Anthopoulos tries to inject some damn life into this team. The Braves are amid a critical series against the Mets, dropping the first of four in extra innings in one of the most frustrating games I’ve watched in a long time.
With each passing loss, one can’t help but wonder if this is rock bottom for a Braves club that had such high expectations coming into the season, yet somehow they find a way to outdo themselves, and Thursday night was no different.

The Braves trade deadline might define the 2024 campaign, but more than anything, the club needs their guys to get healthy. If Alex Anthopoulos believes he’ll have Michael Harris II, Max Fried, and Ozzie Albies back by the time October, Atlanta’s GM will be aggressive at the deadline, even without Spencer Strider and Ronald Acuna Jr.

Offense no-shows in close loss to the Mets.
The Braves are inventing new ways to lose games. They are either bad, or like tonight, just embarrassingly bad. Chris Sale pitched brilliantly and did all he could, but the the Braves offense once again comes up small in 3-2 loss to the Mets. The Braves have lost 5 games in a row, are 1-5 since the All-Star break, and their lead for the number one Wild Card spot is down to just half a game.
It wasn't Chris Sale’s...
There may not be a team in the history of baseball that has been struck by more critical injuries than the 2024 Atlanta Braves, and this latest report will only frustrate fans even more.
