Recap: Offense no-shows, Braves drop fourth straight game

The Braves offense hasn't been the problem too many times over the past 6 weeks, but they had a hard time stringing any production together Wednesday night, as the Diamondbacks took the second game of this 3-game series, 5-3.

The game started with three-up, three-down innings from both starters in the first. Morton would find his first trouble immediately in the second, however, after Christian Walker led off the frame with a sharp double to centerfield. It looked like Morton might escape after getting the next two hitters on a fly-out and a strikeout, but Gabriel Moreno shot a ball down the first-base line for an RBI ground-rule double, and Arizona had an early 1-0 lead.
