Sunday's Braves Report: Rockies series thankfully over
Suddenly, no momentum for the Braves in homestand
Colorado likes visiting Atlanta. Must hate leaving.
The Rockies improved to 10-2 in their last 12 games in town with a series-sweeping 4-2 win Sunday.
Colorado hadn’t swept the Braves in Atlanta in at least a three-game series since 1997. And Atlanta fell to 28-36 against team not in the NL East. Fortunately, the Braves return to division play later this week.
The Rockies led 3-1 after three, and gave a run back in the sixth but got an insurance run in the ninth inning of a six-hitter, two coming from Freddie Freeman and from Johan Camargo.
Anibal Sanchez struck out eight and walked two in 6.2 innings, giving up three runs.
