The Atlanta Braves have lost five straight after suffering a series sweep against the Milwaukee Brewers.
didn't give up on potentially salvaging the series against the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday. They scored seven runs after falling behind by eight.The Braves dropped Thursday's matchup with the Brewers, 16-7, which completed a 3-game sweep for Milwaukee at Truist Park. The Brewers lead the NL Central, but that didn't make the sweep any less embarrassing for Atlanta.
This slump arrived just after the Braves won four straight, including two against the Brewers in Milwaukee last week. If that doesn't summarize this team's inconsistencies, nothing will. What's worse, the Braves have dropped out of the top NL wild card spot and into a tie for the last playoff position in the league. As of 4 pm ET, the Braves were tied with the New York Mets for that spot, and the Mets held a 5-0 lead against the Colorado Rockies in the third inning.Even with all of the team's injuries this year, that's a near unbelieveable fact this late in the season.
First, the Braves will visit the Colorado Rockies this weekend for a 3-game series and then the San Francisco Giants for a 4-game slate. They will finish the road trip with three games against the Los Angeles Angels.
