The Atlanta Braves managed just two hits and saw their winning streak come to an end in a 1-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs.
Charlie Morton’s afternoon got off to a great start as he struck out the side in the first. He added another strikeout in the second and then struck out the side again in the third. Morton retired the first eight hitters he faced before Andrelton Simmons reached on a two-out single in the third but was left stranded as Christopher Morel struck out.
Keegan Thompson failed to get out of the first inning in his last start, but he matched Morton pitch for pitch in the early going.
