The win snapped a five-game losing streak, the longest skid for the Braves since the 2017 season. They completed their three-city road trip with a 3-6 record to fall to 36-30 for the season. The Braves still hold the top wild card spot, but at this juncture, it is more about them righting the ship and getting back on track.
I wouldn't say that the NL East race is over, but the Braves need to worry about themselves more than the teams they are chasing, because they've been playing poorly enough that it's not reasonable to expect other teams to take a similar step back.
The offense remains inconsistent, even in terms of inputs. In April, they had four games with a .400+ xwOBA, but since then, they've only had three games above .400. The decline in offensive performance underscores the need for improvement to match their April standards.
