Ten days ago, the Braves left New York having lost four of five to the Mets, whose lead in the National League East had grown to 6.5 games. The Braves had lost three in a row for the first time in 2022. They weren’t quite reeling, but they’d suffered a reversal. Over the past 13 months, they haven’t known many reversals.
In the week-plus since, Max Fried missed a start (concussion). Kyle Wright missed a start (arm fatigue). There’s no set date for Ozzie Albies (foot) to resume baseball activities.
And the Braves as a team? They’re 8-0.
