Another weekend, another fun series against a good opposing team.
This time, the team was the Chicago Cubs, the one team that has been on Atlanta’s level offensively since the All-Star break. And overall the weekend, struggles in the field and on the mound for the Braves led to two straight losses and a series loss as well. While the Cubs should get credit for their efforts, the Braves simply did not play up to their usual standard on Saturday or in Sunday’s game.
The end result is plenty of motivation as the team heads to Pittsburgh, with a few positives to note.
