Saturday's Braves Report: Freeman helps break losing streak

 

Freeman big as Braves come back

          Freddie Freeman drove in the go-ahead run and scored an insurance run as Atlanta came back from 3-0 to beat Pittsburgh 5-3 to end a three-game losing streak.

          Dansby Swanson led off the eighth with a homer to cut the deficit to 3-2. Luca Duda doubled and Ronald Acuna flew out.

          Pinch-runner Lane Adams scored on a third-strike passed ball on Ender Inciarte’s strikeout. Inciarte stole second, and came in on Freeman’s double. Freeman later scored on Johan Camargo’s sac fly.

McCarthy’s season is over

Wright ready to help out down the stretch

Roster expansion good for the Braves
