The Braves salvaged the final game of their series with the Dodgers on Sunday afternoon by a 4-1 score, but the story about this game will be that Sean Newcomb nearly, nearly granted the home team their first no hitter since Kent Mercker’s no-no in April 1994. Newcomb’s outing was perfect through six and was marred only by a leadoff walk to Yasiel Puig in the seventh... until Chris Taylor hit a single through the left side to give Los Angeles their first hit of the game.
