The Braves' offense had eight hits in the game but only managed the three runs. Two of them came off the bat of Evan Gattis when he hit a homer in the eighth inning, it was his eleventh of the season. He also led the Braves with three hits in the game. Andrelton Simmons added the other run on his lone hit, a single that scored Chris Johnson in the fifth. Freddie Freeman had two hits for the Braves, Johnson and Dan Uggla also added a hit apiece.
Tim Hudson had yet another miserable start. He pitched six innings and gave up six runs on eight hits, including homers to Colby Rasmus and J.P. Arencibia. He suffered the loss and is now 4-4 on the year with a 5.37 ERA. Rasmus' brother Cory, pitched the final two innings for the Braves, he gave up three runs on three hits. All the runs scored on a three-run homer by the Blue Jays' Edwin Encarnacion.
The Braves are now 30-20 on the year. They will play their last game in Toronto tomorrow afternoon at 12:37 p.m. before the series shifts to Atlanta. Paul Maholm (6-4) will try to get the Braves back in the win column as Brandon Morrow (2-3) will pitch for Toronto.
Tim Hudson has struggled recently and his record has fallen to 4-4 after Monday night's 9-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
