Freddie Freeman’s late heroics helped the Atlanta Braves to a 10-8 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in Friday’s series opener. Atlanta trailed 4-0, rallied to tie it and then fell behind 8-4 before scoring six unanswered runs to claim their third straight victory.
Atlanta will try to make it four straight Saturday night when they send Jaime Garcia to the mound who is looking for his first victory in a Braves uniform. Garcia is 0-1 with a 4.24 ERA in four starts this season but has been solid over his last two and has been good in his career against the Brewers.
