ATLANTA -- Adam Duvall homered twice off Jose Quintana, William Contreras and Matt Olson also connected, and the Atlanta Braves won their 11th consecutive game, 5-3 over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.
The defending World Series champion Braves began the day having trimmed five games off the New York Mets' division lead since the winning streak started June 1.
This stretch is the club's best since it won 14 in a row from July 26 to Aug. 9, 2013. During the streak, Atlanta has outscored opponents 74-30 with 22 home runs. The pitching staff has a 2.32 ERA over the same span.
It's been equally fun for Duvall, who has mostly scuffled this season with a .206 batting average, 6 home runs and a .614 OPS. Last year, Duvall led the NL with 113 RBI and was second with 38 home runs.
He has seven extra-base hits over his last four games.
"We're playing good baseball and getting some timely hits is key, so it feels good," he said.
Pittsburgh has lost a season-high six consecutive games, including four against the Braves. The Pirates were swept for the fifth time this season.
"We need to get out of Atlanta," Pittsburgh Manager Derek Shelton said. "That's a good baseball team."
Quintana (1-4) was charged with 6 hits and 4 runs in 5 innings and had allowed two runs or fewer in nine of his previous 11 starts. The Braves are 16-6 against lefty starters and have won their last 11 games against them.
Wright (7-3) allowed 5 hits and 3 runs with 2 walks and 7 strikeouts in 6 innings.
