It's time for baseball, y'all. The Braves have lost six straight games, and they'll need to win this one tonight to avoid having to go into Sunday afternoon's contest facing a four-game sweep at the hands of the Nationals. That's never fun, so here's hoping that the Braves can pick up a victory tonight. Plus, Tori Kelly's in the house. Win it for Tori, Braves. Please.
