The Braves' offense, meanwhile, struggled to produce against Hellickson and right-hander Colton Murray, who limited Atlanta to two hits through the first five innings. Then, in his third at-bat of the night, Swanson tied the game at 1 when he led off the sixth with his third career homer.
Two innings later, Swanson drew a leadoff walk, and after Freddie Freeman struck out -- snapping his hitting streak at 30 games and his on-base streak at 46 with an 0-for-4 performance -- Kemp doubled to right field to give Atlanta a lead it wouldn't relinquish and its 10th win in its past 11 games.
