After a win in Tuesday’s series opener, the Atlanta Braves will try to extend their season-best winning streak to seven-straight games when they wrap up a brief two-game series against the Oakland Athletics Wednesday night. Atlanta hit three solo home runs in support of Kyle Wright who tossed a career-high eight innings in the opener. Atlanta improved to 29-27 on the season and are eight games back of the Mets in the NL East standings.
After going 17 games without a home run, Ronald Acuña Jr. has three in his last two games, including a pair of solo shots in Tuesday’s win.
