Braves News: Braves drop series opener, welcome back Jesse Chavez, and more

A shaky start to the series with quite a few missed opportunities.

The Atlanta Braves kicked off a six-game homestand with a 3-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night. Max Fried was handed his fifth loss of the season after tossing five frames, surrendering three runs on seven hits.

It was an underwhelming night offensively, too, as the Braves were unable to capitalize on high-impact moments. Ten Braves were stranded on the base paths and the Atlanta bats went 2-for-13 with runners in scoring position.
