If the saying “April showers bring May flowers” is true, then the Atlanta Braves must not have received much rain. After finishing their first month of the season with a record of 19-9, the Braves have gone 8-9 so far in May. This challenging month has now put them six games back of the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League East, who have thus far looked unstoppable.
Thanks to the dominating run the Braves have been on since 2018, claiming six straight division titles, fans have grown accustomed to winning. That's what makes this recent stretch of losing five out of their last six so disappointing.
