TWO HOMERS, ONE GAME: OF Jeff Francoeur (two-run, sixth inning) and 2B Kelly Johnson (two-run, eighth) both smacked their first home runs of the season last night increasing the Braves home run total this season to 11.

• Last night marked just the second time in 2016 the Braves have hit multiple homers in a game...Atlanta clubbed two home runs (Freddie Freeman & Adonis Garcia) on Opening Day, April 4, against Washington.

• The two, two-run homers hit last night are just the second and third home runs for Atlanta this season with at least one runner on base...Drew Stubbs hit a three-run shot on April 10.

• The Braves enter tonight’s game with 11 home runs on the season, eight of which have been solo shots...The 11 home runs are the fewest for the club through the first 37 games since the 1944 team had just nine in that span.

MIGHTY MALLEX: OF Mallex Smith went 4-for-12 with two extra base hits in the weekend series at Kansas City and is batting .333 (15-for-45) with four doubles, one triple, one home run, four stolen bases and seven runs spanning his last 15 games (since April)...

• Smith matched his career high with three hits Saturday (third time), including hitting his first career triple.

• Nine of Smith’s first 21 career hits have gone for extra bases, including seven doubles, one triple and one home run.

MINIMAL WALKS: In the just completed weekend series at Kansas City, Atlanta’s three starting pitchers combined to allow just three earned runs, while issuing only three walks (all charged to Friday’s starter Julio Teheran) in 22.1 innings...All three starters went at least 7.0 innings and from 2010-2015, Braves starters combined to make three consecutive starts of at least 7.0 innings and issue three or fewer walks five total times...Since last Sunday, May 8, the Braves have compiled two such streaks (May 8-May 11; Mike Foltynewicz, Matt Wisler, Williams Perez).

• Prior to last night’s starting pitcher, Williams Perez, walking the leadoff batter of the game, Braves pitchers had not issued a walk in their previous 21.2 innings, dating to the first inning on Saturday at Kansas City...That marked the team’s longest such streak since 2012, when the club compiled a 22.0-inning run from the seventh inning on September 23 through the first inning on September 27.
