Atlanta swept Colorado with 28 runs in three games.
The Atlanta Braves went into Denver this past weekend and beat up on the Colorado Rockies like they have been beating up on most of baseball in 2026.
A three-game sweep at Coors Field pushed Atlanta to 25-10, which remains the best record in the sport by a comfortable margin.
Walt Weiss, who managed the Rockies for four years before spending eight seasons as a bench coach in Atlanta, had a pretty straightforward take on his team's weekend after Sunday's 11-6 win.
"You got to keep scoring runs in this place, and that's what we did," Weiss said.
Atlanta hung 28 runs on Colorado across the three games.
Friday was the wild one, an 8-6 comeback from a six-run hole that included a ninth-inning pinch-hit homer from Michael Harris II.
Saturday was a 9-1 beatdown with Chris Sale dealing.
Sunday got a little messy in Spencer Strider's season debut, but the offense bailed everybody out again.
Olson, Albies, and Harris Are Carrying This Lineup
Good luck trying to figure out who to pitch around in this order.
Matt Olson hit his 11th homer on Saturday, a 414-foot bomb in the ninth that has him tied for the league lead.
He is slashing .296 with 30 RBI through 34 games and looks a lot like the guy who was in the MVP conversation back in 2023.
Ozzie Albies carried a 15-game hitting streak into Monday.
During that stretch, he has slashed .421 with eight doubles and has been impossible to get out.
Harris, even while dealing with quad tightness, is batting .324 with seven homers and 22 RBI through 31 games.
His ninth-inning blast on Friday to erase that deficit might have been the single biggest swing of the Braves' season so far.
Drake Baldwin nearly hit for the cycle on Saturday with four RBI, Jonah Heim drove in five on Sunday, Jorge Mateo went deep too and it felt like a different name every inning.
Where Atlanta Goes From Here
Atlanta's 25-10 start is their best through 35 games since 1892 per Baseball Reference, and they have a big NL East cushion.
The sweep dropped the Rockies to 14-21. Losing Ronald Acuna Jr. to a strained left hamstring on Saturday stings, but this roster has absorbed injuries all year without missing a beat.
After going 76-86 last season, Weiss has this group playing a completely different style of baseball.
The offense has carried them through rough pitching nights, and when the pitching is on, the games look lopsided in a hurry.
