Braves News: Chipper gets the call
The Atlanta Braves snapped their losing skid on Sunday as Sean Newcomb came within one strike of throwing a no-hitter in a 4-1 win over the Dodgers. Nick Markakis homered to help stake the Braves to an early lead and Newcomb took care of the rest.
Unfortunately that wasn’t the end of the story for Newcomb who had to apologize following the game for some offensive tweets he made back in 2012.
The biggest news on a busy Sunday for the Braves however happened in Cooperstown, New York as Chipper Jones was officially inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
