Braves News: Series victory, MLB Draft, Austin Riley All-Star, more

The Braves won their 14th straight game at Nationals Park behind a strong offensive showing and a solid, if unspectacular Max Fried outing. This secured the four game series win with one game left to play going into the All-Star break. Austin Riley homered again on the day that his All-Star snub was rectified by his selection as an alternate for the game.

All of this also happens as the MLB Draft is set to happen today and the Braves are expected to be major players as they are top 10 in bonus slot pool after their big trade with Kansas City earlier this week.

We will have MLB Draft broadcast information, the pick order, bonus pool amounts, and analysis up on the site today.
