Braves Shutout by D-backs

One day after scoring ten runs, the Atlanta Braves couldn't buy a run on Tuesday night as Patrick Corbin and the Diamondbacks shut them down and won 2-0.
The Braves' offense managed only four hits in the game. Reed Johnson managed to get two of those hits, including a double. Chris Johnson and Andrelton Simmons had the other two hits for the Braves. The offense struck out ten times, including three times by Dan Uggla. Corbin has gotten off to the best start for a starting pitcher in Diamondbacks' history, he is now 6-0 and has a 1.52 ERA.
Julio Teheran lost in the battle of young pitchers but he still had a great outing. He pitched six innings and gave up two runs on seven hits while striking out three. He unfortunately suffered the loss and is now 2-1 on the year. Luis Avilan and Anthony Varvaro pitched scoreless innings each to finish out the game.
The Braves are now 22-17 on the year and they will finish their three-game series with the Diamondbacks tomorrow afternoon at 3:40 p.m. Tim Hudson (4-2) will look to get back on track against the Diamondbacks' Ian Kennedy (1-3).
