The Atlanta Braves are trying to send everyone a Message before hitting the All-Star Break and that is the NL East is a One Team Race as it will come through Atlanta and nowhere else! The Braves did it again on Saturday Night as all the "Fireworks" are coming from the Braves and no one else on the Senior Circuit and NL East.

The D-Backs for starters jumped on Braves Starter Aaron Harang in the 1st scoring three runs on a Paul Goldschmidt Double and three singles. That would be all that Harang would give Arizona moving forward. The Braves stayed close scoring one in the 1st and 3rd to make it 3-2 D-Backs before exploding for a crooked five in the 4th to make it 7-3 Braves. That 4th inning was highlighted by a two run-scoring Double by Adrelton Simmons and a run-scoring Triple by Freddie Freeman. Simmons led the Chop Shop with 4 RBIs and Justin Upton 3 RBIs. Harang finished giving up four runs on nine hits and a Solo Bomb on his Tab by D-Backs Ender Inciarte.

D-Backs Starter Mike Bolsinger went 3 2/3 innings allowing seven runs and ten hits as he walked two and struck out five. The Braves extend their winning streak to nine games and moves to a NL East leading 49-38 and closely tracked by the Nats 1.5 games back of the Braves. The D-Backs fall to 36-53 as the Tony LaRussa Project is about to be in full swing in then Desert!
