Just not quite enough to make up for a powerful offense that still hasn’t returned from the All-Star break.
Rookie Mike Soroka blanked San Diego over seven innings and Freddie Freeman launched a tie-breaking, three-run homer in the eighth inning off Trey Wingenter, helping the Braves to a 4-1 win that swept that Padres out of Petco Park to start the second half.
