The Braves hit three more homers on Tuesday in a 5-1 win that evened the series. "It's kind of the key to our success is that everybody is contributing, and they have to a man, so it's been really good. The Braves' homers on Tuesday all came from the bottom third of the batting order. "The bottom third of our lineup has been really good, and they put a lot of pressure on the opposition. "I felt relatively sharp, throwing a lot of strikes, but they hammered my mistakes pretty good," Giolito said.

☆ Sirius XM shares pull back after 'wild' gains with short squeeze in focus

July 21 (Reuters) - Shares in Sirius XM Holdings (SIRI.O) were down 10.5% on Friday, erasing some of their dramatic gains in the previous day's session with analysts attributing the volatility to a short squeeze, as well as a rebalance of the Nasdaq 100 (.NDX). U.S. satellite and online radio company, Sirius XM, which is majority owned by Liberty Media (FWONA.O), last traded at $6.99 after closing up 42% at $7.81 on Thursday for its biggest one-day percentage gain since March 2009. A short squeeze is when these investors are forced to quickly cover their bets to limit losses if a stock gains ground instead of falling. "However, the large number of shares held short along with a relatively small float provided fertile ground for a short squeeze as seen on July 20," wrote Macker who estimates a $7.50 fair value for the stock. Evercore analyst Vijay Jayant said the upcoming rebalance of the Nasdaq 100, of which Sirius is a member, was also a factor for the short squeeze as well as related options trading.
