The Braves entered Sunday with a chance to end their week, month, and a recent stretch against the NL East on a positive note. Instead, they lost 2-1 to the Phillies, with the offense going ice cold at the most inopportune time. This is a performance that has become all to routine for Atlanta, especially when closing out the week on Sundays.
The Braves also finish the month of June with the offense once again struggling mighty. After enduring a 3-14 stretch a few weeks ago, the team responded with a 10-4 stretch with the offense averaging 5 runs a game over the 14 game span.
