Atlanta Braves are finally playing like the World Champions. With 13 wins in a row, the Braves are ready to defend their crown. Notably, when the regular season started, the Braves did not play to their potential. But now, the Brian Snitker-led team is back in the business.

Unlike the last season, the Braves have strong competitors in the National League itself. Given the form of the New York Mets, LA Dodgers, and San Diego Padres, it will not be easy for the Braves to defend their title.

However, with players like Ronald Acuna Jr., Travis d’Arnaud, and Orlando Arcia in the team, the Braves have a strong lineup that can compete against any opponent. After registering their 13th consecutive win, d’Arnaud opened up about the Braves’ successful run in the NL.

Atlanta Braves are on a mission

After the departure of their talisman, Freddie Freeman, the Braves struggled to win earlier in the season. But the inclusion of Ronald Acuna Jr. has done wonders for the Braves. Leave the top order, the bottom lineup of the Braves has been their biggest strength this season.

Talking about the same, the Braves catcher Travis d’Arnaud revealed what has worked for the team lately. d’Arnaud said that sticking together and believing in game-plan are a few reasons the Braves are doing better in the NL.

“We have been playing good baseball. We have a complete lineup right now,” d’Arnaud said. “It’s hard to push to people when the bottom of the lineup is so dangerous… I’m just knowing what you are good at, knowing the game-plan, and just believing in your stuff not trying to do too much.”

“Just go out there and execute pitches… We are doing a lot of things together… We are staying really close and really tight knife. That’s why I think we are winning so many games in a row.”
