The Atlanta Braves made it home and finally did what fans have been waiting a weeks worth of baseball for, just one win. At now 1-7 Braves fans are rejoicing the end of a losing streak and looking toward the future with just a little bit more hope than before. The Braves struggled straight out of Spring Training with a loss to the Padres on Opening Day. It appeared to be a bullpen problem, after two more losses to the Padres it was more apparent the Braves had problems lying everywhere.
Fans were begging management for changes, and posting on social media praying for a win. Finally on April 4 the Braves broke through on their home field. No team that’s gone 0-7 to start has made it into the post season, but after this game Braves fans seem to think they’re the exception. Stunning performances by pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach and DH Marcell Ozuna pulled the struggling team to a massive 10-0 shutout win against the Marlins. Braves fans are ecstatic.
