## Resource

The Braves are in a slump after dropping two games to the Nationals and losing their second series, including a brutal 17-inning scoreless stretch. Manager Walt Weiss says it’s part of baseball’s rhythm, but injuries to Drake Baldwin and a dip in Matt Olson’s production aren’t helping. Olson’s elbow discomfort? Not affecting his swing. Austin Riley’s early-season funk is concerning, but history says he’s capable of a huge turnaround—just like in 2024. He’s hitting hard, just not consistently, and is working hard on his mechanics to get back on track. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
