Despite the injuries, the Braves are playing their best baseball since early April, winners of nine of their last eleven, which has made this weekend’s series with the Phillies a lot more interesting. Atlanta sits just five games back of Philadelphia as they head to Citizens Bank Park for a four-game set. Unfortunately, the Braves

Jesse Chavez in an Atlanta Braves uniform has been one of the most unexplainable anomalies in Major League Baseball over the last several years.

The Braves have won seven of their last nine games, primarily on the backs of the pitching staff. However, last night was a nice change of pace, with the offense jumping out to a 9-1 lead in just the second inning on the way to a 10-6 victory over the Twins. Atlanta now sits at
