So much about being a professional athlete is consistency.
Every player at the MLB level has talent. Otherwise, they wouldn't be there. But the best hitters and pitchers generally avoid long slumps.
Unfortunately for the Atlanta Braves, Murphy hasn't been very consistent this year. But different from last season, he has experienced some tremendous highs. Like April, when he had seven home runs in the span of 15 games.
Murphy showed signs of returning to that form over the weekend versus the Philadelphia Phillies.
In Saturday's 6-1 victory, Murphy provided huge insurance with a grand slam in the seventh inning.
