Thrilling inside-the-park bid becomes first out

DENVER -- Approximately three hours later, as he digested Monday night's 3-0 loss to the Rockies at Coors Field, Braves third base coach Ron Washington was still wondering if the result would have been different had he not waved Ender Inciarte toward the plate with the hope of beginning the game in electrifying fashion.

"I thought it was an inside-the-park [home run]," Washington said. "I had no doubt about it."

Instead, it became a play that led the Braves to wonder what might have been as they lost their 11th straight game at Coors Field and suffered their seventh shutout loss of the season.
