• Braves win coin-flip game 4-3 behind Bryce Elder and bullpen

With a pitching matchup that favors the Blue Jays on paper, even with Bryce Elder’s solid performance this season, the Braves got off to a dream start in the first, with a Ronald Acuna turning into a run with a Michael Harris double. Harris came around on a groundout and a sac fly for a […]...2026

The Braves are back home after another successful road trip. They’ll face Toronto and Pittsburgh now at home, but Toronto comes first and former Brave Kevin Gausman will take the mound Tuesday.

As the Braves looked for another series victory, they faced Zack Wheeler, uncertain of exactly what to expect from the Phillies’ ace coming back from injury, while Bryce Elder started for Atlanta.
