“That’s the standard here”: Atlanta Braves now have the best record in Major Leagues

Atlanta Braves

The reigning World Series champions ‘Atlanta Braves‘ are once again proving to be the hottest team in the Major Leagues as they press upon their 12th straight win this June. The team is in their hottest semblance which has also been the weather around Nationals Park this time.

Atlanta stayed red hot Monday night, running away with its 12th straight victory, despite losing All-Star second baseman Ozzie Albies, with a huge blow to his leg which is now a fractured left foot, in a 9-5 frolic over the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park.

The Majors’ longest win streak this season is also the Atlanta Braves’ third-longest streak of the Wild Card Era (since 1995), challenging the club’s streak of 14 straight wins in 2013 and a 15-gamer in ’00. The way they’re playing, they look capable of edging right past both of those runs.

“That’s the standard here in general,” said Dansby Swanson, who hit one of Atlanta’s five homers as part of a four-RBI night. “Every night we show up to the ballpark, we expect to win. That’s what’s made this place great for such a long time. We have the players that have the same buy-in and attitude. With that kind of mentality and that type of culture, good things happen.”

The Braves have outscored their opponents by 48 runs (83-35) and have a 2.68 team ERA during this streak, which is now reclining into its third week. The one homer Dylan Lee allowed to Lane Thomas on Monday was little match for the five Atlanta muscled, a season-high.

“It’s not just one thing,” manager Brian Snitker said. “We started playing really good baseball all around. Our starting pitching [has been good], the bullpen has been unbelievable and guys started to hit. We’ve been playing good defence. I mean, it’s just been a total team thing, you know? Just playing good, solid baseball, you know, day in and day out.”

“Everybody’s feeling good, feeling free,” said Harris II, “We’re going out there having fun, playing every day and just winning.”

That’s the spirit the Braves took into Monday, then again, much of the production came from the bottom half of their deep line-up. Travis d’Arnaud, Marcell Ozuna, Duvall, Swanson and Harris II all went deep, with Ozuna and Duvall going back-to-back off Erasmo Ramírez in the third. Duvall’s homer was his third in four at-bats dating back to Sunday.
