The Atlanta Braves jumped out to an early lead and made it stand up with a 4-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Mike Foltynewicz pitched six strong innings while the bullpen pitched into and out of trouble late.
The Braves activated pitcher Luiz Gohara on Saturday and optioned him back to Triple-A where he will continue to build up his pitch count.
The Braves will know more on Sunday but for now they are cautiously optimistic that Julio Teheran will be able to make his next scheduled start. Teheran left Friday’s game early with what was termed upper trapezius tightness.
