## Resource

The Braves are surging, holding a four-and-a-half game division lead after winning their first two series since the All-Star break, with key matchups against struggling Baltimore and the Mets ahead. A minor scare involving Ronald Acuña Jr. — a shaky video of him limping after a swing — turned out to be just a cleat snag, and he’s still on track for a return from his hamstring strain. Meanwhile, catcher Sean Murphy heads to rehab with a broken finger, adding to his injury woes this season. Dominic Smith finally broke out of his slump with a huge three-run homer, giving Atlanta the lead for good against the Padres. And in a quirky stat, Braves batters have been hit by pitches 14 times this month — a new franchise July record, with several players getting plunked three times each.
