The Atlanta Braves manager felt pretty good heading into Sunday, but everything apart from one performance seemed to go wrong

The Braves showed positive offensive signs in their first two games against the Rockies — with 16 runs on 22 hits — but Sunday’s series finale demonstrated the group is still searching for consistency.

The Colorado Rockies reinstated left-hander Austin Gomber from the 60-day injured list before his start in Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves but lost another lefty starter, Kyle Freeland, to an injury.

The latest evidence: The Rockies’ 12-4 loss to the Braves on Friday night at Truist Field, in which the Braves scored 11 runs in their last three at-bats. Consider: Colorado got an excellent start from German Marquez and ripped Atlanta pitching for 14 hits, on the road no less.
