"The Braves starting pitching trio of Spencer Strider, Chris Sale and Bryce Elder pitched in five games a piece (Sale's relief of Charlie Morton's start on the season's final day provide the same value as a start) and tossed approximately 30 innings each with an ERA on either side of 3.00. Sale struck out 42, Elder 32 and Strider 26 to pace the pitching staff."
"On the position player side, rookie catcher Drake Baldwin worked through a mini-slump to tie for the team lead in RBI while also pounding four home runs and two triples. Reserve Eli White slugged three home runs in limited duty - 20 at-bats over 11 games. Before his injury, Ozzie Albies was having a solid month as was Marcell Ozuna, who was likely playing in his final month as a Brave."
"When the month came to an end, it was Atlanta's iron man who came out on top. Battery Power Braves Player of the Month: Matt Olson What a month Atlanta's Mr. Reliable Matt Olson had in September. Not only did his consecutive games streak continue through another season, but he paced the team in almost every offensive category while also continuing to play defense at a level that could see him earn a Gold Glove."
The Braves finished September 14-11, buoyed by a 10-game winning streak in the last half of the month. Starters Spencer Strider, Chris Sale and Bryce Elder each made about five appearances and tossed roughly 30 innings with ERAs near 3.00; Sale struck out 42, Elder 32 and Strider 26. The bullpen featured Raisel Igelsias and Tyler Kinley in 11 games apiece, with Kinley yielding the only run between them via a solo homer; Dylan Lee struck out 13 in 8.2 innings with a 0.46 WHIP. Offensively, rookie catcher Drake Baldwin tied for the team RBI lead, Eli White hit three home runs in limited duty, Ronald Acuña, Jr. produced a .949 OPS, and Matt Olson paced the team while extending his consecutive-games streak.
