Atlanta Braves secured a narrow 2-1 victory over Colorado Rockies on Friday evening in their regular-season meeting. The hosts held off a late rally to extend their recent winning momentum.
Atlanta have been in solid form lately, winning four of their last five outings before tonight's game. The scoreline against Colorado on Thursday - a 6-4 win - set the stage for what proved to be a tighter contest this time round.
The Rockies came in off mixed results, including an emphatic 13-1 victory over Washington on Tuesday. But they had also suffered heavy defeats, including that 4-6 loss to Atlanta just 24 hours earlier.
By then, both sides had been trading runs and defensive stands throughout the evening. The Braves managed to string together enough scoring moments to stay ahead, while Colorado couldn't quite find the consistency needed to turn the game.
The result means Atlanta extend their unbeaten run to five games, a run that includes three wins against different opponents. Colorado's struggles continue with three losses in their last four outings.
It wasn't a game decided by one moment - more about who got over the line when it counted. Atlanta's recent form suggests they're building something steady, while Colorado still have work to do to find their rhythm.
