Chatwood sharp, but 'pen falters late in loss

ATLANTA -- A shaky eighth inning for the Cubs' bullpen with two bases-loaded walks saw nine Braves come to the plate in Chicago's 4-1 loss to Atlanta at SunTrust Park on Wednesday.

With the score tied at 1, Carl Edwards Jr. gave up a leadoff triple to Ozzie Albies to set the stage for Ronald Acuna Jr.'s sharp go-ahead RBI single to left. After an intentional walk to Nick Markakis, Edwards issued a bases-loaded walk to Tyler Flowers to make it 3-1. Justin Hancock came in and delivered another bases-loaded walk to Johan Camargo.
