The Atlanta Braves tried to mount a late comeback but came up just short falling to the San Diego Padres 3-2 in the first game of Wednesday’s doubleheader.
Kyle Muller wasn’t his sharpest but he limited the damage and gave the Braves a chance to win. Muller worked around a single and walk in the first, set the side down in order in the second and then worked around back-to-back walks in the third but retired Jake Cronenworth and Manny Machado to keep things scoreless.
Padres starter Chris Paddack was up to the task as well.
