Atlanta Braves

The homers just keep coming for the Atlanta Braves, who have their sights set on being the most prolific power team in baseball history.  Ronald Acuña Jr., Austin Riley and Matt Olson went deep for the MLB-leading Braves, who cruised to a 12-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday.  tlanta is heading to Chicago for a weekend series against the Cubs — and a reunion with longtime Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson.  Swanson signed with the Cubs in free agency, leaving the team he helped to five straight NL East titles and a World Series championship in 2021.  After an off day, LH Max Fried (2-1) returns to the Braves’ rotation on Friday for the series opener against the Cubs. The Atlanta ace hasn’t pitched in the majors since May 5, when he went down with a strained left forearm.
