The Atlanta Braves optioned pitcher Mike Foltynewicz to Triple-A and called up reliever Chad Sobotka after the 2018 All-Star gave up eight runs in Saturday's win over the Washington Nationals.
"I've got a 7 ERA on a first-place team," Foltynewicz told reporters. "It's just tough. I'm battling every night. It's just tough. It's just the person I am. I'm going to wear that stuff on my sleeve, especially when things aren't going my way. It's just tough. It's all my fault, too."
Foltynewicz, 27, is 2-5 with a 6.
