Downing-USA TODAY SportsThe Atlanta Braves have the best record in baseball, and Monday night they showed why.
Atlanta had 18 hits in a 14-4 win at the Colorado Rockies in the first of a three-game series. It was the Braves' seventh straight win over Colorado, and they will go for No. 8 when the teams meet again in Denver on Tuesday night.
Charlie Morton (13-10, 3.37 ERA) will take the mound for the Braves against Peter Lambert (3-4, 4.92) in a matchup of right-handers.
