Matt Olson and the Braves’ offense appear to be coming around. While the Atlanta Braves wait for the starting lineup to really find its footing, the pitching staff continues to be the driving force of the club.
Chris Sale was looking like his former Cy Young contending self as he dominated the Cubs. Matt Olson came through with a HR. The Atlanta Braves faced the Cubs and Jameson Taillon with his 1.13 ERA in what looked like would be a low scoring affair.
At this time last year, the Atlanta Braves were just starting their historic season. They were racking up runs and homers, putting up staggering offensive numbers that would end up being team highs.
The Atlanta Braves are currently in second place in the National League East. However, it’s been a rough start to the season for star infielder Matt Olson.
