Matt Wisler: Wisler coughs up four homers in 2 2/3 innings

Braves right-hander Matt Wisler (5-4) lasted less than three innings in his 12th career appearance and suffered his second straight loss. Chicago ranks 11th with 123 home runs.

He tied the Yankees’ Mark Teixeira, who homered right- and left-handed most recently in a game on July 31 against the White Sox.

A female fan was struck in the head by a line-drive foul ball and taken away on a stretcher in the first inning of the game between the Chicago Cubs and the Atlanta Braves on Sunday at Wrigley Field.

“I’ve never seen a ballpark where the wind affects the game so much”, Bryant said. Atlanta finally broke through in the fifth when Ryan Lavarnway homered to left center to lead off the inning. Balais said the woman was conscious and talking when paramedics took her out of the stands for medical treatment. Fans sitting near her said it happened so quickly, she had nearly no chance to get out of the way.

Several fans around the majors have been hit this season, and Major League Baseball has said it is studying the issue of crowd safety.

After watching his team’s latest homer-fueled win, Cubs manager Joe Maddon took a few minutes to address the most frightening hit of the day. Don’t turn your head away from the action.

Chicago Cubs’ Dexter Fowler watches his solo home run during the first inning of a baseball game … Foltynewicz (4-5, 6.06 ERA) was tagged for all seven earned runs on eight hits including two big flies in only 4 2/3 innings. He also contributed an RBI single.

They started hitting home runs in the bottom of the first inning and barely stopped all afternoon.

“Awful. Pay attention. I hate to say it. Those are wonderful seats, probably pay a lot of money for them”. Rizzo hit his 25th home run Saturday against the Braves.

“The ball is getting up a little bit instead of working down”, Wisler said. That’s probably the best answer honestly is just to pay attention. “I have to figure out how to pitch to lefties up here”. “Anytime you can sweep one four-game series a year that is pretty good”. They played poorly as the underdog over their last 10 games with a 2-8 record, and a 2-8 record SU.

The Braves have lost five straight and 20 of 22 road games. He hit. 169 in 35 games with Atlanta this season….

“It was really a stellar offensive performance for the last couple of days”, Maddon said.

Batting left-handed, Swisher lofted a wind-blown, two-run shot to left field off Cubs starter Dan Haren in the second.

Chicago is a season-high twenty games over.500, and just three wins from surpassing their entire win total of 2014.
