The outing started innocently enough for Mike Foltynewicz. He cruised through the first three innings, picking with a strike out, while issuing a walk and allowing no hits. Meanwhile, the Braves got something going in the 2nd with a Nick Markakis single and an Ender Inciarte walk, but AJ Pierzynski submitted to a twin killing to end the threat.
The Braves found themselves with runners at the corners and one out in a scoreless 4th inning, after Gordon Beckham doubled and advanced on a Freddie Freeman line out, which Nick Markakis followed with a walk.
