Shelby, defense falter; Braves lose to Cubs 5-3

Shelby Miller struggled late in his start against the Cubs and, although the Braves did actually manage to score a few runs for him this time (emphasis on a few), the Braves still fell to the Cubs

Shelby Miller's winless streak was extended to 17 games despite a 2-hit, 2-RBI performance from Nick Markakis as well as actually being staked to a lead for a change. However, some bad luck and miscues in the field ultimately lead to the Braves' doom in this game.

The Braves got the scoring started early in the game with back-to-back singles to start the game and then an RBI fielder's choice by Freddie Freeman that scored Nick Markakis.
