ATLANTA — A bad season keeps getting worse for the Atlanta Braves. On a night that they dropped to 14-45 since July 8, the Braves lost their 11th straight home game, too. That’s the longest home skid since the franchise moved from Milwaukee in 1966 and it ties for the longest streak since the 1931 Boston Braves lost 11 in a row at home.
