Atlanta had nine hits in the game. Evan Gattis had two hits and drove in two runs in win. Chris Johnson also had two hits and drove in a run and Freddie Freeman also tied for the team lead with two hits. Brian McCann had a hit and drove in the Braves' other run, Justin Upton and Elliot Johnson had the other two hits in the victory.
Julio Teheran was a little shaky in his return to the rotation after the Braves skipped his turn last time through, but he did earn the victory and is now 12-7. He ended up pitching six and two-thirds innings and gave up three runs on five hits while striking out six men. Luis Avilan came in to relieve Teheran and try to get out of a jam in the seventh but instead he hit a batter to load the bases. Luis Ayala then came in to face Giancarlo Stanton with the bases loaded and he struck him out to end the inning. David Carpenter pitched a perfect eighth inning and struck out a batter. Craig Kimbrel then came on and struck out two batters in the ninth to earn his 46th save of the year.
The Braves are now 87-57 on the season and they will play game three of their series with the Marlins tomorrow night at 7:10 p.m. Mike Minor (13-6) will try to help the Braves win their third straight while Jose Fernandez (11-6) will be making his final start of the year for Miami.
