The Atlanta Braves Bats continue to struggle as they only are able to get 5 hits for the game.
Most of their hits came with two outs.
They were 0 for 4 this afternoon with runners in scoring position.
Zack Greinke just pitched a great game and had 7 strike outs over 7.2 innings.
Sean Newcomb had a disastrous first inning.
He had 3 walks and 1 hit and believe it or not only 1 run scored on 36 pitches.
After the 1st inning Newcomb settled down and pitched a pretty good game.
Final line on Newcomb IP: 5.2 | H: 4 | R: 3 | BB: 3 | K: 2 | HR: 1.
The Braves I believe are ready for the all-star break.
Maybe with a little break their bats can come alive in the second half of the season.
With the loss this afternoon the Braves record is 51-42!
