The Atlanta Braves just took 2-of-3 from the Rays after taking 2-of-3 from the Twins, two division leaders in the better American League. This is one of the more impressive feats the Braves have accomplished in the past five years.
The Braves current record of 39-28 stands as the best record in the National League. In addition, their run differential of +61 stands as the best in the NL as well. Since their May 7-9 series loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, the Braves have not lost a series. That is 12 straight without a loss, impressive to say the least.
The Braves winning percentage of .722 since then also ranks as the best in baseball. The 26-10 record they have posted since that series is astonishing considering how mediocre the Braves looked up until then.
