Atlanta Braves slugger Jonah Heim connected on a home run and drove in five runs Sunday, leading the Atlanta Braves to an 11-6 victory over the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field.

The victory marked the Braves' sixth in seven MLB outings.

At 25-10, they reigned as the league's top squad, matching the 1892 Boston Beaneaters' all-time-best franchise start.

The current edition entered Monday with the league's top batting average (.273) and second-best ERA (3.11).

Still, Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos is not content.

A key season-long slump and injuries have created lineup holes and MLB rumors suggest a left-field replacement tops Anthopoulos' acquisition agenda.

With Mike Yastrzemski collecting 20 hits during his opening 100 at-bats, with no home runs and 27 strikeouts, the free agent's impact remained marginal. Out of the starting lineup Sunday, Yastrzemski replaced Jose Azocar in right field and went 1-for-3 with a run scored.
