The Braves have scored 51 runs in the past 4 games (on 63 hits!). No need to worry about pitching when you score that many....except for Thursday when the Braves narrowly beat the Padres 15-12 in the series opener (and first game back since the 4 day All Star break). If memory serves, I think the Braves got a 4 day break last year as well.
Pete Orr has not contributed any hits, RBI, or runs to this streak. His last hit was on July 1. The last time he scored, or drove in a run, was on his solo homer vs. the Nats on June 7.
The Braves are "o so close" to .500. Sitting at 44-49 (in second place in the NL East) and 11.5 games back from the Metropolitans - better yet, the Braves are 5 games back from the Redlegs in the Wild Card chase.
