Braves daily news digest 5/8: Atlanta back at .500 mark with long road trip coming up

The Atlanta Braves bounced back to take the final two games against the Philadelphia Phillies to come away with a much-needed series win. Shelby Miller shined in a 99 pitch complete game shutout on Tuesday while Freddie Freeman and Andrelton Simmons did most of the heavy lifting in Wednesday's 7-5 win. Atlanta is back at the .500 mark and hit the road for nine straight beginning with a three-game set in Washington on Friday.

Sugar Ray Marimon allowed two hits in six shutout innings on Thursday while helping the Gwinnett Braves to a 5-0 win over Scranton.
