After the game, manager Walt Weiss made an honest statement.

Via Mark Bowman of MLB.com: “Walt Weiss when asked about the Phillies cutting the Braves’ lead to three games: “I don’t care what the lead is. I could care less. We had a big lead early. There were several months to go. I’m not worried about anybody else but ourselves right now.””

The Braves got off to an incredible start to the 2026 season.

That said, the month of June was not kind to the club.

Jason Foster of MLB wrote: “Through the seventh inning today, the Braves have a .597 OPS in June (22 games), easily the worst in baseball. That would also be their lowest OPS during any 22-game stretch since 2014.”

Despite their struggles, the Braves still find themselves with a 49-33 record in 82 games, which has them at the top of the National League East (and one of the best teams in baseball).

They will now get the day off on Monday before a series (at home) with the St. Louis Cardinals that starts on Tuesday night.
