The Braves had five hits in the game, but none were bigger than that walk-off home run that came off the bat of Freddie Freeman in the bottom of the ninth. It was Freeman's seventh homer of the year and it also gave him 48 RBI's, which leads the team. It was also just one of Freeman's three hits on the evening. Justin Upton had a hit and scored on the homer and Jason Heyward also added a hit for the Braves.
Tim Hudson had another good outing wasted by the offense's lack of run support. He completed seven innings and gave up one run on six hits. He also struck out six in his performance that came after a three hour rain delay before the start of the game. Anthony Varvaro pitched a perfect eighth inning and David Carpenter pitched a perfect ninth inning and earned the victory, he is 1-0 on the year.
The Braves are now 42-28 on the year. They have a doubleheader against the Mets tomorrow and game one will start at 1:05 p.m. Alex Wood (0-0) will make his first Major League start against Mets' ace Matt Harvey (5-1). Also, some bad news for the Braves, Evan Gattis was placed on the disabled list with a strained oblique after the game, Tyler Pastornicky was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to take his place on the roster.
