Braves’ Teheran loses flawless game, no-hitter against Phils

Philadelphia stranded 12 runners and left the bases loaded in the ninth inning of a 2-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Friday night.

Atlanta Braves’ Freddie Freeman hits a two run double against the… Garcia was taken out of the game for overrunning second base and getting tagged out after driving in a run. I feel like I’ve got all of my stuff together.

Atlanta (60-90) now leads Philadelphia (56-94) by four games for fourth place in the National League East, leaving the Phillies in position to get the first pick in the 2016 draft.

The Phillies have dropped five straight and 13 of 16. The Phillies still have veteran Domonic Brown and rookies Aaron Altherr and Brian Bogusevic, who can play right field.

“I think he will [make his next start]”, Mackanin said of Nola. Sometimes I make a mistake but that’s normal because we are all human and make mistakes. 10-game homestand that ended Wednesday, but Philadelphia went 3-7 during that stretch? including losing two of three to Atlanta September 7-9.

Eickhoff’s effort was better than the six-inning scoreless stint from his first game August . 21 against Miami. Of his 91 pitches, 59 were for strikes.

“Right now nobody is swinging the bats”, Mackanin said. The Phillies have to be considering shutting him down now, as we speculated here at TBOH last week. “So we just took the precautionary side”. He probably could have gone back out there, but he’s a young guy that hasn’t pitched this late in the season.

“That’s about as good as I’ve seen him in a long time”, Gonzalez said. That was a major letdown after he fanned seven while needing just 85 pitches to go seven innings in a 5-0 win over Atlanta six days earlier. He allowed one run over seven innings, with three walks and four strikeouts.The Braves scored their only run in the first inning.

Weber struck out five and walked two.

This isn’t unusual. Both the Phillies and Braves are looking at their young players with an eye on next season. “He does a lot of good things”.

Edwin Jackson (3-3) earned the win after striking out one and facing the minimum in the eighth.

Arodys Vizcaino closed out the ninth with some flair. But shortstop Andrelton Simmons saved a run with a diving stab of Sweeney’s line drive.

“This game is easy to play when everything is going your way”. He walked the leadoff batter, third baseman Hector Olivera made a fielding error and Odubel Herrera reached to load the bases after striking out on a wild pitch.

“He did a nice job in the ninth”, Gonzalez said.

Nick Markakis had another multihit game, and Jace Peterson contributed two hits as well.

But the Braves scored a run against reliever Luis Garcia in the bottom half of the inning.
