Braves unable to hold lead in loss to Cubs

Atlanta scored once in the first and twice in the fourth inning off Chicago starter Kyle Hendricks, who lasted five innings. The Cubs' bullpen pitched a combined four scoreless innings and allowed just two baserunners -- both in the ninth inning -- with Jason Motte picking up the win in relief to move to 8-1.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Minimal harm done: In the fifth, the Cubs put more than one runner on base for the first time all day against Miller, but they left with only one run to show for it.
