ATLANTA -- After staying composed and bouncing back from a rough start, Tyrell Jenkins was too nervous to watch the realization of a much-anticipated moment. The Braves' rookie pitcher reached his first career milestone while making a sandwich with his back turned to the television in the home clubhouse at Turner Field.
But once Jim Johnson stranded two runners with assistance from the defensive gem Erick Aybar produced at the end of Friday night's 2-1 win over the Phillies, Jenkins did not hide the excitement he felt upon notching his first career victory.
