After the sweep to the Dodgers, and with the Diamondbacks, Cardinals, and Brewers looming on the schedule, the Braves did not have a very favorable outlook two weeks ago. The staff, bullpen, and lineup were all struggling, and some type of jolt was certainly needed. That is when Brian Snitker and his staff went with what worked in the past. Ronald Acuna Jr. was put in the lead-off on May 10th, and since then, the Braves have gone 8-2 over their past 10 games.
The secret to the success is not hard to find.
