Left fielder Charlie Culberson supplied the only run with a solo homer and left-hander Sean Newcomb picked up his eighth victory as the Atlanta Braves blanked the visiting San Diego Padres 1-0 on Saturday at SunTrust Park.
Culberson hit his third home run of the season on a long fly to left-center field on a 1-0 pitch off San Diego starter Jordan Lyles (2-4) in the fifth inning. Each of Culberson's three homers have provided the winning margin for Atlanta, the previous two coming in the team's last at-bat.
