ATLANTA -- The Braves spent most of their first homestand without both of their top two catchers and its entirety without both Johan Camargo and Ronald Acuna. Still, courtesy of Wednesday afternoon's win over Max Scherzer and the Nationals, they traveled to Denver on Thursday feeling good about what transpired as they opened this season with a 4-2 record.
As Preston Tucker flourished and Ryan Flaherty proved to be more than serviceable, the Braves gained a better sense of the quality depth they may have once they possibly add both Camargo and Acuna to their roster within a nine-game road trip that begins Friday.
