Atlanta Braves news and notes from Friday. The Atlanta Braves snapped a two-game skid after Friday’s 6-1 win over the San Diego Padres.
Marcell Ozuna’s two home runs were the highlight of the night, getting him to 26 on the year to accompany his National League-leading 77 RBI. He now has more RBI before the All-Star break than any Braves player in the Atlanta era.

Things went well on the other side of the ball, too, as Spencer Schwellenbach turned in seven innings of one-run ball to earn his third win of the year.
