The Atlanta Braves superstar continues to excel at the plate, but Friday's game against the Rockies featured part of his game we had yet to see this season

The Atlanta Braves started the weekend series on a high note after Friday night’s 12-4 defeat over the Colorado Rockies. Bryce Elder got the ball to start the game; he threw 3.1 mediocre innings and allowed each of Colorado’s runs. The Atlanta offense, however, finally came to life and put together a few crooked number innings.

With Michael Harris II finding his power stroke, Ronald Acuña Jr. hitting .375 after missing almost a full season and Marcel Ozuna fighting his way through a hip issue, the Atlanta Braves are hoping their offensive recovery has not come too late.

The longtime ESPN analyst and former Major Leaguer won't write off the Atlanta Braves just yet for a couple reasons

A former Husker threw his first career complete game at the Major League level. Spencer Schwellenbach went the distance in the Atlanta Braves ' 6-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. Schwellenbach gave up five hits and two runs while striking out nine in the win.

Kimbrel signed a minor-league deal on March 18 with the Braves, his original Major League team. Atlanta added Kimbrel to its 40-man roster on Friday, and he pitched a scoreless inning in a 5-4, 10-inning loss to the San Francisco Giants.

The former Atlanta Braves shortstop was given a warm welcome in his first game back to Truist Park since being DFA'd last month

Arcia returned to his former home Friday, now a member of the Colorado Rockies, and was penciled in to start at shortstop and hit seventh in the series opener against Atlanta.
