Though Cameron Maybin delivered the knockout blow to Arizona in the top of the 10th inning, it wasShelby Miller‘s strong seven innings that gave the Braves a chance today. Miller no-hit the Diamondbacks through seven innings today. He struck out 10 Snakes while walking 4 in his dominating no decision.

    • While all of Braves Country wanted Shelby Miller to get the win today, it ultimately went toDavid Aardsmawho pitched a very strong top of the tenth, striking out the side. Miller’s second near no-hit bid went into the eighth inning before the Diamondbacks light-hitting shortstopNick Ahmedblooped a single just overJace Petersonin shallow right-centerfield. Shelby then allowed a pinch-hit single toJarrod Saltalamacchiain the next at-bat before Fredi Gonzalez had to pull him from the game.

    With two runners on and nobody out in the top of the eighth, Ahmed was able to tie the game up at 1 by scoring on a ground out offEnder Inciarte‘s bat. So again, Shelby Miller goes winless in a start, but in no way can you blame him as his performance today was electric.

    Offensively the Atlanta Braves scored their two runs on nine hits today, with Cameron Maybin,Andrelton Simmons, and Jace Peterson each recording two hits apiece. Atlanta was able to get on base against Arizona’s starter Rubby De La Rose (7 hits and 4 walks), but could only get one run across in his seven innings of work. The Braves stranded nine runners this afternoon.

    This was a great team win for the Atlanta Braves as nearly no-hitting a very good offensive team like Arizona is not easy to do. Taking two of three before heading west to face the San Diego Padres at Petco Park should give this Atlanta club a lot of confidence heading into the week.
