MLB Power Rankings: Boston Red Sox close in on Chicago Cubs

Atlanta Braves. 30. team. 17. There isn’t a whole lot anyone can say about the Atlanta Braves right now, except they are in a rebuilding mode for the ages, and they do seem to be very good at losing baseball games right now. They did gain a win on Saturday against the Kansas City Royals by a 5-0 score, and with 11 hits that day, the Braves did show some signs of life. It also helped them win two games in a four-game span, which is something positive for their fan base to enjoy.. 9-27. Previous:

team. 2.  The Minnesota Twins aren’t much to brag about either this season, as they gained their 10th win of the season on Sunday, defeating the Cleveland Indians, 5-1 in Cleveland on a day where they were out-hit, 9-8. The Twins actually won their weekend series against the Indians, as their Saturday victory came by a 6-3 score, giving the Twins their first series win since the last time they faced the Indians from April 25-27, where they also won two-of-three that series.. 10-26. Previous: . Minnesota Twins. 29

28. team. 61.  Cincinnati had a big road win on Sunday, taking down the Philadelphia Phillies by a 9-4 score, tallying 14 hits in the win and even their bullpen held up on that day. Though the Reds haven’t won a series since their April 18-20 showdown with the Colorado Rockies, one plus for this team has been the play of <a href=. 15-22. Previous: . Cincinnati Reds

135.  The Houston Astros went 3-4 this past week, with two wins against the Cleveland Indians and one win against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday by a 7-6 score. Yes, it wasn’t the best of weeks for the Astros, but the reason for their fall was not due to the losses to Boston (OK, it was some of the reason), but a few teams just jumped ahead of them for their play. Again, it is still disappointing the Astros have fallen off the wagon early on this season, as their roster is better than a 15-win team entering the third week of May. . 15-24. Previous: . Houston Astros. 27. team
