The Braves continue to just cruise this season, in a refreshing departure from last season. Chris Sale<\/a> had a really nice outing against the Phillies\u2019 lineup on Saturday, backed up by Dylan Lee<\/a> and Robert Suarez<\/a>, while the offense got enough done to win the game. That makes for the sixth series win this season, as the Braves have still not lost a series in 2026. Atlanta is 14-7, 5 games clear in the division lead, and has the best run differential in baseball. That is nothing short of a fantastic start, especially given all of the talent Atlanta has on the IL, and how much of that talent could be returning in the coming months.<\/p>\n
