00:00DRS, the States pick up their second consecutive win in Atlanta, 2-1 yesterday in a pitcher's

00:06duel between Merrill Kelly and Chris Sale.

00:10Now the Braves, six games sub-500, 27-33 through that 60-game mark of this season.

00:18Team stinks right now.

00:19It really does.

00:20We had Mark Zinno on yesterday, and the thoughts were the same, Ben.

00:23Nobody's going to lay that price, and then we handicapped the game a little bit later.

00:26I said the same exact thing.

00:27And also, it was like you're getting chump change out there with Merrill Kelly.

00:30He's been good this year, and specifically, as of late, seven in his pitch, no earned runs,

00:35holding down those bats down in the big A, a big win for the Diamondbacks as they close

00:40closer to 500 here.

00:41But the Atlanta Braves, it just seems like everything is going wrong.

00:45And also understand this, the Diamondbacks going up against Chris Sale.

00:48Chris Sale's a really good pitcher, 10 Ks, but they also were 2 of 10 with runners in scoring

00:51position, so they had a lot of opportunities, but only played at two runs.

00:55You flip it over to the Braves, only had six runners in scoring position yesterday, only

00:58played at one run.

01:00That's just not doable and sustainable.

01:02The Mets are playing really good baseball.

01:03Maybe the Phillies will bounce back.

01:04They had a tough loss yesterday, but you're not gaining any ground.

01:07You're losing ground by the day, and you have to jump two teams, being back roughly 10 games

01:12in the division.

01:13I don't know what has to change.

01:14Like, Acuna came back.

01:15Hey, give us a lift.

01:16Strider came back.

01:17Hey, give us a lift.

01:18Nothing is working for the Braves.
