ATLANTA — It wasn’t that long ago Adam Duvall was among the Braves’ least productive players. When 33-year-olds struggle, sometimes better days aren’t ahead. Duvall endured his fair share of criticism as he and his team underwhelmed.
But Duvall is back. And so are the Braves.
The slugger’s two-homer performance highlighted the Braves’ 11th consecutive victory, this one a 5-3 win Sunday to complete a four-game sweep of the Pirates. It was the second four-game sweep of the Braves’ streak (they also swept four games in Colorado).
