Braves turn to Anderson, look for another victory over Cubs

The Braves picked up an important win on Monday, hopefully exorcising some of the demons that revealed themselves on Sunday. Concerns over another paltry offensive were quickly dismissed as Atlanta scored four runs in the first inning, hammering Chicago starter Zach Davies. A multitude of great at-bats by the Braves were encouraging, but that warm feeling subsided in the third inning when Charlie Morton was unable to hold the lead. Run prevention has plagued Atlanta since the start of the season, and for all the struggles felt by the Braves offense, the rotation appears to be the bigger issue.
