Mahle’s Rise Lights Up Braves | Atlanta Braves News

Tyler Mahle is turning heads as a Braves pitcher, tossing 16 strikeouts and just one run in his first two starts — including seven Ks in six innings against the Mets. Despite missing out on big names like deGrom and Skubal, Atlanta’s recent moves are paying off, with Lane Thomas hitting his first homer and Mike Yastrzemski and Austin Riley launching back-to-back dingers to fuel a 18-10 run. The Braves now hold a nine-and-a-half-game NL East lead and are building playoff momentum — with Mahle, who rebounded from a rough start and injury, emerging as a top candidate to be Atlanta’s second starter behind Chris Sale.
