The Braves had only seven hits in the game, but seemed to score on every chance they got. Dan Uggla had a big game with two hits, both of them homers, and four RBI's. He now has thirteen home runs on the year. Freddie Freeman had two hits, including a big three-run double in the fourth inning that broke the game wide open. Jason Heyward also added two hits, Andrelton Simmons had one and Evan Gattis got an RBI with a sacrifice fly in the third inning.
Mike Minor struggled in the first inning but afterwards he settled down and only gave up a run on six hits. He also struck out six batters and improved his record to 8-2. Alex Wood pitched two innings and gave up a hit and struck out three. David Carpenter pitched a perfect ninth to finish up the game.
The Braves are now 39-24 on the year. They will travel to San Diego to take on the Padres starting tomorrow night at 10:05 p.m. Julio Teheran (4-2) will try to continue his recent streak of dominance against the Padres best pitcher and former Brave Jason Marquis (7-2).
Dan Uggla hit two home runs on Sunday, and has three home runs in the past two games, as he helped the Braves beat the Dodgers, 8-1.
