d'Arnaud Steals the Show Against the Defending Champs 755 Forever

The Braves took two out of three games over the weekend vs. the visiting Rangers to finish a solid week against both teams from Texas. David & Eric begin with Sunday night's loss where Darius Vines allowed four runs in five frames. Speaking of the rotation, Bryce Elder has been called up from Gwinett and will start on Monday vs. the Marlins.
(05:45) Atlanta leads the NL East, but there are more contenders than expected as the Mets are over .500.
(10:00) Reynaldo Lopez will face Miami on Wednesday as he is starting just once a week. He is getting extra rest after transitioning from the bullpen, where he pitched the past few years.
(14:10) Travis d'Arnaud on Friday night hit a trio of homers in three straight at bats. He is the first Brave to pull off the feat since Adam Duvall did it twice in September of 2020.
(26:00) Matt Olson is slumping in the first month of the season as he only has collected one it in the past six games. He is hitting .231 so far this year. David notes that the offense is so loaded, that his slump is flying under the radar.
(32:30) Marcell Ozuna slugged his ninth homer on Sunday and leads MLB in multiple offensive categories. These includes homers, OPS, Slugging percentage, and RBIs.
