Braves Briefing: Eddie Rosario ready for a hot June?

In the realm of sports, certain players seem to possess a special prowess against particular opponents. Thankfully we saw that this weekend.

Marcell Ozuna unleashed his full potential during Atlanta's three games in Miami this season, going 6-13 with 3 home runs and 6 RBIs. This impressive performance propelled him into what became known as "Marcell May."

Similarly, Eddie Rosario appears to have a knack for facing the Arizona Diamondbacks. Throughout the series, he achieved a remarkable 6-12 record, accumulating seven RBIs. Notably, he hit two solo shots on Friday, a triple on Saturday, and concluded with a ninth-inning grand slam on Sunday, transforming Atlanta's 5-4 deficit into an 8-5 victory.

This grand slam marked only the second of the year for Atlanta, with the first one being courtesy of Marcell Ozuna in the same Miami series.

The Braves return home for an off-day on Monday before hosting the NL East Rival New York Mets.

Braves Today's Lindsay Crosby covered the action yesterday. In his takeaways, he highlighted Michael Soroka's performance.

Soroka struggled in this one, being knocked out of the game in the 4th inning with two outs. He actually got the first two outs fairly quickly, but a Pavin Smith walk and a Ketel Marte homer to right quickly made it 5-3 Snakes. After a Corbin Carroll double and a walk of Christian Walker threatened to add to the lead, manager Brian Snitker made the change to Collin McHugh, who got the strikeout of Emmanuel Rivera to end the inning.
Soroka's never had "blow you away" type-stuff, but only two swinging strikes and a 23% CSW is lower than expected from the veteran,who is still working his way back from two Achilles tears that took almost three seasons away from him.
Soroka's final line: 3.2 IP, 7H, 5R, 4BB, 2Ks on 80 pitches (46 strikes)
