In the time we’ve been apart, the Braves took three out of four against the very pesky Nats to conclude a 6-1 road trip. The boys will return home to Cobb County with the best record in baseball (18-8). The Phillies… were swept again. If you’re not a sicko who’s scoreboard watching in April like some of us, you’d be shocked to learn of their current streak of nine straight losses. (The Mets snapped their skid at 12, but lost Lindor to the IL in the process.) After losing three at Wrigley, I’m sure they’re thrilled to be in Atlanta for the weekend.

He allowed the home run in the first and locked it down until Walt Weiss came to pull him just shy of qualifying for a win. While encouraging, Holmes is fighting to stay in the rotation instead of being moved to the bullpen in a long relief role.

He walked one and struck out four. The only Braves to record a knock off him so far are Harris (twice), and , Dom Smith, and all have one apiece. recorded a walk. Same clubs seeing the same pitcher in less than a week. What could go wrong? If we’re going to feel this much déjà vu, we might as well lean all the way in – might be an unpopular opinion, but I wouldn’t mind another Atlanta series sweep. **Game Info** Game Date/Time: Friday, April 24, 7:15 p.m. ET Location: Truist Park, Atlanta, GA TV: N/A Streaming: Apple TV Radio: 680 AM / 93.7 FM The Fan
