In what was possibly their easiest win all season, the Braves smashed three two-run homers off Dinelson Lamet, while Jared Shuster and the bullpen stifled Colorado’s league-worst offense en route to an 8-1 rout. This game was really a tale of two things in this headline, which explain both the Braves’ eight runs and the Rockies’ sole tally on the night.
Lamet’s Lament
Dinelson Lamet did not have a good night. The Braves’ bats, on the other hand, had a very good night. Things snowballed for Lamet quickly. Ronald Acuña Jr. led off the home half of the first with a walk, and immediately stole second uncontested.
