"I didn't want anybody else facing that middle of the lineup in the eighth inning," Gonzalez said. "[Vizcaino] is our best guy. He was going to face Harper, Zimmerman and Robinson. At that point, we were still undecided. If he gives you a quick inning, you run him back out there. If he doesn't, you mix and match and see what you can do to get through the ninth."
Vizcaino's inability to record the sixth and final out he was assigned led to the Braves enduring a 10th straight loss and 17th in their past 18 games.
