ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Braves don't want to hear they are running out of time to prove they can still compete for a playoff spot.
Continued offensive woes are making a case Atlanta could be sellers instead of buyers at the trade deadline.
Atlanta came within two outs of its second shutout loss in losing two of three games to the Los Angeles Angels. The Braves dodged what would have been their fourth shutout loss in their last seven games when Jurickson Profar hit a ninth-inning homer, but it was far too little to save the listless offense Thursday night in a 5-1 loss to the Angels.
