The Atlanta Braves went 13-9 during their 22-games-in-20-days stretch. But while the worst of the marathon is over, the tests are by no means complete.
Now underway: a run of 5 games featuring 4 different opponents (Marlins/Rays/Cubs/Pirates).
Coming tomorrow: a pair of contests against the hottest team in baseball (the Rays).
Once this week is over: the best team in the majors (Red Sox), despite the fact that they were just swept – by the Rays.
Then: a West coast road trip featuring one of the hottest teams in the NL (Arizona) for 4 games.
