For only the second time in twelve starts, Carlos Carrasco managed get through a scoreless first inning. The starter was impressive in the first and retired eight of his first nine batters before his struggles began.
With two outs in the bottom of the third, Joc Peterson homered to deep right center to open the scoring. Orlando Arcia would follow with a double and Freddie Freeman would single him home to extend the Braves lead to 2-0.
Atlanta would continue to hit Carrasco hard over the next two innings, as a long William Contreras home run in the fourth would double up the score to 4-0, and the Braves would plate a fifth run in the bottom of the fifth on an Eddie Rosario RBI single.
