The Atlanta Braves will begin a nine-game homestand with a three-game series Friday night against the Texas Rangers. Atlanta is coming off a series sweep of the Astros and a 5-1 road trip. The series opener will feature a matchup of two left-handers in Atlanta’s Chris Sale and Texas’ Andrew Heaney.

And yet a first series against a division rival, in their home stadium, and the rival most likely to give us trouble. Not only a rival, but the defending World Series Champions. Such a game not only...
The Texas Rangers scored three runs but the Atlanta Braves scored two runs with Travis d’Arnaud pitching in for six by himself. Not much to say about this one. The Braves are a good team — maybe the best team if their pitching holds up — and apparently that includes an infinite supply of dingers from their No. 2 catcher.
