Bryce Elder was great pitching 6 innings and getting 6 strike outs for the day while only giving up two hits, Elder will be needed with Fried on IR for the coming weeks.

Matt Olson and Ronald Acuna Jr. both had great days at the plate accounting for most of the Braves runs. Olson blasted a double to score Acuna from 1st base on a double, plus had a homerun to centerfield to make a great day at the plate. Jesse Chavez got the save for Atlanta. The Braves return home to face the Padres tomorrow night at 7pm.
