The Atlanta Braves shut out the Miami Marlins on Monday night, 3-0, to move to 15-6 on the season. Despite the loss of ace pitcher Spencer Strider, the Braves look every bit the part of a National League championship contender.
The Marlins on the other hand, are now 6-18 on the year and look like a team in total flux. It doesn't help that 4/5 of their projected rotation entered the season injured. Sandy Alcantara and Eury Perez both needed to undergo Tommy John surgery and will miss the season.
In the win, Braves' catcher Travis d'Arnaud continued his hot streak at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI.
