The Atlanta Braves woke up in a big way at Truist Park and finally showed some signs of life from their lengthy silent bats while pitching is now coming around.

Austin Riley really got things going at the plate for the team. This big home stand was a welcome sign for the Atlanta slugger and for others. Meanwhile, Jarred Kelenic is the latest man installed at the top of the order as Michael Harris II went down with a hamstring strain that will keep him for weeks. Will Kelenic make the most of this latest opportunity? Behind the plate, the return of Sean Murphy was much anticipated, but some troubles at the plate were adding up.

Murphy broke out with a four-hit, two-homer game on Wednesday, a performance the slugger and the Braves really needed to signal better days.
On the mound, one of the youngest Braves is making a big impression, a long-time minor leaguer finally got his shot in the big leagues, and a bullpen veteran is once again posting some incredible numbers. You’ll hear about Spencer Schwellenbach, Grant Holmes and Jesse Chavez as well.
