This run will undoubtedly come to an end before October, but it has propelled the reigning champion Braves back up the standings after a sluggish start. They haven’t lost in June yet, with their most recent loss coming on May 31 against the D-backs. That spans a whole two weeks without a setback. In that time, they trimmed the Mets’ lead in the National League East from 10 1/2 to 5 games, albeit they were only able to keep up Tuesday when New York beat Milwaukee. The Braves’ latest winning streak was in 1961. It is still too early to predict that this success will last the entire season.
