The series ends on Thursday evening.
The Braves honor their rank
There is no team more dominant in the National League this season than the Atlanta Braves. The Georgia club have won nine of their last ten games, including all three games against the Minnesota Twins.
The victory at the end of the sweep was convincing: The Braves won 3-0. Matt Olson made the difference again with his 26th home run of the season. The first baseman is only beaten by Shohei Ohtani and his 28 long balls.
Team Georgia’s pitchers did a great job keeping the batters limited to four hits. Among their casualties was Quebec’s Édouard Julien, who was eliminated in the seventh game due to a groundball when he was alone on the field.
