ATLANTA — The Braves, finding new ways to create runs, have regained the lead in the NL East with their best two-week stretch of the season. It's even more impressive when considering during that period starting pitcher Gavin Floyd had season-ending elbow surgery and power-hitting catcher Evan Gattis was lost indefinitely with a back injury. The Braves were off on Thursday, but will carry a seven-game winning streak into Friday night's game against Arizona.
