It was a big weekend for the Atlanta Braves as they swept the Philadelphia Phillies to remain just one game back in the NL East.

But there was some disappointment as the Braves lose Ozzie Albies to injury again, and Matt Olson continues to look lost at the plate. The Braves have a good chance to pick up ground in the NL East this week, but they can't let up against the Washington Nationals. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
