Sean Newcomb Adequate In Losing Effort

Atlanta Braves starter Sean Newcomb surrendered two runs on five hits across 5 2/3 innings of work during Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley was 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and two walks during Tuesday's 10-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.

Ozzie Albies Dropped In Batting Order For Tuesday’s Game

Albies went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts […]
