ATLANTA — Braves manager Brian Snitker did not mince words when discussing the Milwaukee Brewers’ rotation and bullpen ahead of the series opener Friday, calling the staff “as good as it gets.”
The Braves’ bats proved up to the challenge this weekend, but they saved their most prolific outing of the series for Sunday’s matinee. The 9-2 rout sealed a series win over the NL Central leaders and showcased an offense with both patience and power.
After squaring up against proven commodities in Eric Lauer and 2021 NL Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes in the first two games of the series, the Braves’ lineup looked to find a rhythm against the Brewers’ Sunday starter, 23-year-old Aaron Ashby.
