Braves Slump Deepens in June | MLB News

The Atlanta Braves’ June slump has turned their early-season dominance into a crisis, as they plummet from first place to a three-and-a-half-game lead after a brutal 9-13 stretch.

Injuries and slumping stars like Ronald Acuña Jr. haven’t helped, and even their once-reliable pitching, led by Bryce Elder’s soaring ERA, is faltering. With the trade deadline looming and rivals closing in, the Braves need veteran leadership and bold moves to salvage their World Series hopes before July hits.
