A little life from the middle of the Braves order is a welcome site to see.
The Braves started off their series against the Washington Nationals in convincing fashion with a 5-2 victory. Kyle Wright was effective enough to put together another quality start and earn his 19th win, and seven of the Braves nine starters in the lineup had a base hit.
Perhaps the most encouraging news was that three of the hits came off the bats of Austin Riley and Matt Olson. Riley hit his 37th home run of the year, and only his second in his past 13 games.
