The Atlanta Braves extended their losing streak to five games after Thursday’s 16-7 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, who completed the sweep.
From the starting pitching, to the lackluster offense, there was nothing going for the Braves, who reached their 54th loss of the season.
Parker Dunshee was able to make his major league debut, but it was nothing impressive as he was tagged with five runs in 2.1 innings.
The club selected the contract of Dunshee on Thursday morning, and in the same move, recalled Eli White to Atlanta, optioned Dylan Dodd to Gwinnett, and designated Eddie Rosario for assignment.
Up next, the Braves have a three-city road trip that begins tonight in Denver.
