The Atlanta Braves (15-18) are still trying to claw their way out of the big hole they dug themselves into after starting the season 0-7, but perhaps their latest victory will be the spark they need in order to finally see the light of day and get to .500.
Following five straight losses to the Los Angeles Dodgers (23-11) earlier this year, Atlanta bested the reigning World Series Champions, 4-3, in Truist Park Sunday night. LA challenged late and looked poised to deliver Brian Snitker's squad another gut-wrenching defeat, but Austin Riley's two early home runs, which accounted for the Braves' entire run production, was the indisputable difference in the game.
