June 8 in Braves history.....
1961 Eddie Mathews, Hank Aaron, Joe Adcock, and Frank Thomas hit four consecutive homers in an inning off Reds' pitchers Jim Maloney (2) and Marshall Bridges (2), making the Braves the first major league team to accomplish the feat. The seventh inning big fly barrage and another blast by Mathews and one by Warren Spahn aren't enough when Cincinnati still manages to win the Crosley Field contest, 10-8. 2016 Kelly Johnson becomes only the second player in baseball history to be traded from one team to another in consecutive seasons when he is obtained by the Mets from the Braves for minor league right-hander Akeel Morris and cash. Backstop Chad Kreuter was dealt by the White Sox to the Angels in 1997 and then again in 1998.
And a few items from around MLB.....
1934 The Reds become the first team to travel in an airplane when Cincinnati GM Larry MacPhail flies 19 of his players to Chicago for a series against the Cubs. In 1946, New York will be the first team to fly on a regular basis, using a chartered Douglas DC-4 that will become known as the 'Yankee Mainliner'. 1951 White Sox reliever Marv Rotblatt becomes the first pitcher to be driven in from the bullpen when he enters the game in the 8th inning to face the Yankees in a 4-2 loss at Comiskey Park. At the present time, transportation to the mound is only for White Sox pitchers, but later in the season, the team will provide the visiting bullpen hurlers with a black Cadillac, which has been supplied by a local funeral home. 1952 Prior to the start of a twin bill against the Reds, Dodger manager Chuck Dressen tells Cal Abrams if he wants to stay with the team that the benchwarmer will need to verbally taunt the skipper of the opposing club. Much to his chagrin, the spare outfielder, who spends the entire first game of a double-header severely heckling his opponents and their leader, is informed between games he has been traded to Cincinnati, effective tomorrow, and will need to report to his new field boss, one very angry Roger Hornsby.

I think I read LA has won 15 of their last 20 games.

I think I read LA has won 15 of their last 20 games. They have, but the Nats had won 6 straight when we cooled them off. The good thing is that we are playing a good team. The Braves always seem to play up or down to their competition. I think we'll see a much better effort in LA than we did in SD.

Whatever it takes to lose there, they do it. It's quite puzzling, no?

David O'Brien @dobrienajc #Braves 3B prospect Austin Riley is likely out several weeks with a sprained PCL in his right knee. Hurt it diving for a ball.
