Braves’ Fredi G says no hard feelings after benching Garcia

Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said there would be no ongoing repercussions for Adonis Garcia after he pulled the rookie from the game on Friday for inattention.

“For me it was over as soon as it happened,” Gonzalez said. “You feel like when those things happen, you do it for the right reasons.”
