Sunday truly was a fun day for the Atlanta Braves.
Atlanta was able to beat the Nationals in extra innings, sweeping Washington while also ending their recent trend of struggles during Sunday games and in series finales.
Off the field, the Braves six-week surge to become one of the best teams in the National League was rewarded with five Braves making the NL All-Star team. Joining Ronald Acuna Jr. in the National League starting lineup at DH will be William Contreras (replacing the injured Bryce Harper.) Dansby Swanson, Travis d’Arnaud, and Max Fried also made NL squad.
