Terdoslavich's 1st MLB homer downs Padres

ATLANTA -- Joey Terdoslavich's pinch-hit homer in the eighth inning Tuesday night at Turner Field gave the 26-year-old his first hit of the 2015 season, his first Major League home run, and pushed the Braves to a 6-5 victory over the Padres.

After going down 5-0 after six innings, it seemed like the Padres were well on their way to a second straight victory at Turner Field, but Atlanta rallied in the bottom of the sixth and the Braves' bullpen staved off the Padres for the final three innings to give Terdoslavich the opportunity to hit the go-ahead homer.
