## Resource

The Braves’ division lead is shrinking fast — from nine and a half games to just two — as their offense, once a strength, has cratered since mid-May. June was their worst offensive month ever, and the slump predates Ronald Acuña Jr.’s hamstring injury, pointing to deeper issues. With key players like Riley and Baldwin struggling and Sean Murphy still out, Matt Olson is carrying the load alone. While the pitching remains solid, the front office can’t wait for the bats to wake up — or risk losing their lead entirely by August.
