Sunday. San Diego. Soroka. Sweep?

Over the medium-term arc of baseball history, the Braves’ experience in San Diego has been a weird one. Between 2012 and 2018, trips to Petco Park were a horror-show, full of incipient collapses, walk-off losses, and a complete dearth of series wins. This was perhaps some kind of cosmic rebalancing for the fact that between 2007 and 2011, the Braves never lost a series in San Diego. However, even with that prior run of success, a sweep proved elusive: you have to go back to 2006, when the Braves actually made two separate trips to Petco Park, to find a sweep.
