The Atlanta Braves have won 33 of their first 53 home games and have closed within a half-game of NL East Division leading New York. During Saturday's home victory, All-Star 3B Austin Riley launched his 28th home run as part of a three-hit night. SS Dansby Swanson contributed two hits and scored a pair of runs for the Braves (58-38).
Twenty-four year old righty Ian Anderson (8-5 4.79 ERA) is starting to show signs of returning to form. The Braves have won Anderson's last three starts and he has allowed just four runs over his last 15 plus frames.
