The Braves had seven hits in the game. Andrelton Simmons had two hits to lead the team. Freddie Freeman hit a solo homer, his sixteenth of the year, to give the Braves the only lead they would have in the game. Gerald Laird had a pinch-hit double in the ninth inning to drive in the Braves only other run. Chris Johnson, Brian McCann and Joey Terdoslavich each added a hit in the loss for Atlanta.
Julio Teheran had a decent outing but it wasn't good enough and he took the loss, he is now 10-7 on the year. Teheran pitched six innings and gave up four runs, including homers to Matt Carpenter and Carlos Beltran, on five hits while striking out eight batters. David Carpenter and Luis Avilan combined to pitch the seventh inning. Carpenter gave up a run on three hits before Avilan came in to stop the bleeding. Anthony Varvaro pitched the eighth and gave up a run on two hits and struck out two men.
Atlanta is now 77-52 on the year and they will finish up their four-game series with the Cardinals tomorrow at 2:15 p.m. Mike Minor (12-5) will start the finale against Lance Lynn (13-7) for St. Louis.
