Overall, the Braves did what they've done to rack up wins even as the bats have struggled to get the results they were hoping for: keep the opposing team off the board.
The Braves have now clambered into the top ten among MLB teams by pitching fWAR. Their pitching triple-slash line is 80/94/93, marks which are fourth, sixth, and fifth, respectively.
Max Fried threw a complete game with a stellar 9/0 K/BB ratio. AJ Smith-Shawver and five relievers shut out the Cubs effectively. The bullpen stepped up in subsequent games.
