Atlanta Braves

Matt Olson homered late and doubled in an early run and the Atlanta Braves won their fifth straight game, beating the Minnesota Twins 3-0 Wednesday for a series sweep.  Atlanta improved to 20-4 this month, best in the majors.  The Braves are off Thursday. The Braves have yet to announce a starter for Friday, when they open a three-game series against Miami, but RHP Michael Soroka (0-1, 8.38 ERA) is a candidate to get called up from Triple-A Gwinnett. Snitker said the team wouldn’t announce a starter until Friday morning.
