Bethancourt exits early in Turner Field return
Atlanta Braves right fielder Nick Markakis (22) hits a single against the San Diego Padres in the second inning at Turner Field. (Brett Davis/USA TODAY Sports)ATLANTA — Padres right-hander Edwin Jackson did not make it through three innings Tuesday, barraged by the Atlanta Braves offense before an early exit.
By the bottom of the fourth, both ends of the Padres' battery had changed. Catcher Christian Bethancourt, who was making his return to Turner Field, did not emerge from the dugout that inning. Instead, the former Braves backstop exited the game due to an intercostal strain in his left side.
