ATLANTA -- Luiz Gohara returned to Atlanta early Sunday morning, happy he had spent time with his ailing mother and cognizant of the fact his delayed return from Brazil influenced what the Braves had to work with during Saturday's 14-inning loss to the Nationals.
"If I had been here, there probably would have been more of a chance we could have kept the game going because I know they really trust me," Gohara said. "I'm really glad to hear the guys trust me. At any point of the game, they can toss me in there and I can just go do what I've been doing.
