## Resource

The Braves took a brutal 7-1 loss to the Rays, as rookie AJ Smith-Shawver imploded on the mound, lasting just three innings and surrendering four earned runs—including two homers—on 75 pitches. The offense barely scratched the scoreboard with one run, while the team’s playoff hopes dim further with this blowout defeat. With his ERA climbing since August, Smith-Shawver’s shaky performance underscores the Braves’ urgent need for pitching consistency as they race toward October.
