They've recently perfected the art of spreading their hits out to one or two per inning, but then excelled at bunching the hits given up to the opposition -- hence the part

about out-hitting the Braves by nearly 30% (69 to 54) across six games and yet winning just one of them.

P.S. there's a chance that getting out-HR'd 12-4 is a factor as well.
