The Braves got well over the weekend, and the medicine was the Houston Astros.

Atlanta completed a three-game sweep that was sorely needed after losing nine straight games, the last seven coming on the worst road trip in over 60 years.

Derek Lowe was once again the beneficiary of good run support, as the Braves won 7-1.

The bottom half of the lineup came through for Atlanta Sunday, with eight hits in 13 at bats and all seven RBI.
