The Braves are focused on making June in 2022 one of their most memorable months of baseball in a while.
At least in terms of the regular season.
While it may not approach the overall joy of October and November of 2021, the month of June in 2022 may be one of the best months of Braves baseball in recent memory. After completing their third straight series sweep on Sunday, the Braves are looking to earn their 12th straight victory in Washington on Monday. If they accomplish that goal, the Braves will have produced the 5th longest win streak in franchise history.
While many different players are playing significant roles during the streak, the improvement of Adam Duvall has been fun to witness. Duvall now has four home runs and 10 RBIs in the month of June, and while this pace may not be sustainable, it shows he is starting to find his rhythm at the plate. While Duvall is a streaky hitter, when he is hot, the Braves offense becomes very hard to beat.
