Can Walt Weiss’s Surprise Strategy Keep the Atlanta Braves Dominating MLB?
But Weiss, in his first year as Atlanta’s skipper, is making noise for reasons beyond his prowess in hand-to-hand combat. The Braves, at 18-8, have MLB’s best record entering Friday. Their plus-62 run differential is tops in baseball. No club has scored more runs, and only the Dodgers are allowing fewer runs per game.
On Thursday, the Braves pummeled the Washington Nationals 7-2 behind a stellar big-league debut from hurler JR Ritchie and four RBI from second baseman Ozzie Albies. The win, Atlanta’s seventh in its past eight games, gave the club a 5.5-game cushion in the NL East.
