Tomahawk Take Editor’s Note: Last night’s defeat was a real heartbreaker. The Atlanta Braves were one strike away from winning that ball game…ONE! The Braves offense did their job, collecting 14 hits on Wednesday and Julio Teheran did his, throwing six innings, giving up four hits, no earned runs (three unearned), two walks and had six strikeouts.
Braves relief pitcher Jose Ramirez just couldn’t close the door in the 9th inning. He gave up two straight singles to Pirate hitters and then settled down. Ramirez got a fly ball out and a strikeout looking.
