    Atlanta Braves Clippings Wednesday, September 16, 2020 Braves.com As Duvall, Braves rake, 'you almost expect it' Slugger ties for NL lead with 15th HR -- 10th of Sept. -- and Freeman paces bats past O's By Mark Bowman Though Adam Duvall has hit more home runs than any other Major Leaguer this month, his September OPS ranks third on his own team. That’s just how ridiculous the Braves' offense has been while pushing the team toward another division title. Duvall belted his 10th homer of the month and Freddie Freeman recorded his seventh multi-hit performance within the past eight games as the Braves claimed a 5-1 win over the Orioles on Tuesday night at Camden Yards. “I’ve been in some top offensive lineups, but this one is top tier,” Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud said. “Day in and day out, you almost expect it every day. I’m really glad I’m a part of it.” With 11 games remaining, the Braves own a 3 1/2-game lead in the National League East. Their magic number to clinch a third consecutive division crown is nine. They’ve gotten to this position thanks to an offense and bullpen that have managed to compensate for rotation woes. How good has the offense been? Well, entering Tuesday, the Braves led the Majors this month in both runs (105) and home runs (35). Yeah, this can happen when you score 29 runs in one game. But it’s worth noting that no other team had more than 25 homers and the Mets (85 runs) were the only club that had tallied more than 80 runs.
