Walt Weiss Explains Braves' Gritty Sweep of Rockies
Atlanta now turns to a stretch that could shape the rest of its season.
Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss expressed pride in his team's performance after the 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies in a gritty seven-game sweep. The win, which extended the Braves' winning streak to seven games, came in a 10th-inning rally that saw Matt Olson line a single to right field, scoring Ronald Acuña Jr. from third base.
The Braves had struggled in August, but this seven-game homestand has transformed them into a dominant force in the National League East. Manager Weiss emphasized the team's ability to overcome challenges, stating, "I'm proud of our guys for coming out here and taking care of business." Despite health issues affecting the pitching staff, particularly with Spencer Strider's elbow inflammation, the Braves' strong offense and bullpen have kept them competitive.
With the upcoming series against the San Francisco Giants and the Washington Nationals, the Braves are poised to continue their winning streak into the final stretch of the season.
