ATLANTA -- Bob Horner’s four-homer game in a loss to the Expos on July 6, 1986, has long stood as one of the greatest accomplishments in Braves history, especially during the TBS era. Horner’s big game stood as the only time in modern history, and second time, a team lost

There’s also Spencer Schwellenbach, a 24-year-old quickly establishing himself

ST. LOUIS -- Not long after pulling his hands in and using the quick-twitch muscles to turn on a 97.8 mph fastball for the kind of pulsating home run that made him once again resemble the Nolan Arenado of old -- instead of an older Arenado who struggled a year
