Overview

  • The Braves avoided a sweep at Wrigley Field with a four-run seventh and a 5-1 win.
  • Rookie Cade Horton threw five no-hit innings with six strikeouts and one walk before being lifted at 75 pitches.
  • Ozzie Albies broke up the combined no-hit bid with a leadoff single in the seventh, and Ha-Seong Kim followed with a go-ahead three-run shot on the first pitch he saw from Drew Pomeranz.
  • Kim was claimed off waivers from the Rays on Monday, and his homer proved decisive as Atlanta added an Albies solo blast in the eighth.
  • Bryce Elder delivered seven strong innings with one unearned run, four hits, six strikeouts and no walks, while the loss left Chicago six games behind the Brewers but still atop the NL wild-card race.
