However, that hasn’t exactly been the case in the first three games for the Atlanta Braves.
The offense has come up with the big hits when they’ve needed them, but they’ve yet to have a complete game from beginning to end.
Even in game one when they scored six runs, it wasn’t an all-out onslaught from beginning-to-end.
For an offense that finished the regular season seventh in runs scored and eighth in slugging percentage, they’ve been quieted by Cardinals pitching for the most part.
In particular, the middle of the Atlanta Braves lineup has been kept in check.
