Sunday was a busy day on and off the field for the Braves, but an overall really positive day. Atlanta was able to get the win over the Rockies, as Spencer Strider was a bit shaky in his first start of the season. The Braves swept the Rockies, mainly thanks to elite offense to continue their historic start to the season. Furthermore, Atlanta received good news on Ronald Acuna Jr., who suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain on Saturday. While he was added to the 10-day IL, it was the best news possible
from the injury scare.
