Braves face bats woes as they chase NL East title
Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez says the Braves must improve hitting despite leading the NL East. They rank last in runs with runners in scoring position and have struck out frequently. Key players like Heyward Freeman and Evan Gattis provide hope as Justin and B J Upton adjust. Gattis aims to return from a oblique strain while others recover from injuries. The Braves open a three game series versus the Miami Marlins with confidence in their pitching staff.
