ATLANTA -- Now that the Braves feel good about the depth in their rotation, they may have to further their thoughts about possibly using their starting pitching surplus to bolster their bullpen.
Brandon McCarthy held steady into the sixth inning and Freddie Freeman added to his recent power surge in a timely manner on Friday night at SunTrust Park. But their contributions went to waste when Sam Freeman and Peter Moylan allowed the Padres to construct a five-run seventh and claim a 9-3 win over the Braves on Friday night at SunTrust Park.
