Zack Greinke was making his 4th start since returning from the oblique injury and looked like his midseason self early on, confusing Braves' hitters early and often.
The first inning was quick and simple for Greinke, grabbing 2 strikeouts and a grounder to make it through unscathed. The second wasn't as easy, with the Braves getting a runner in scoring position with 2 outs, but a fly ball ended that threat. The third and fourth were textbook, with Zack shutting them down in order.
The offense responded with the excellent pitching with a pitchers best friend, runs.
