decision when Atlanta squeaks out a rare home victory.Whenever I go out there, I
just try to do my job and give the team a chance to win, just concentrate on
that, he said. If I get the win Im happy with that, and if I dont get the win
and the team still wins, Im happy with that.Chase dArnaud singled with two outs
in the ninth inning off Gonzalez Germen and Atlanta beat the Colorado Rockies
1-0 on Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep.The Braves are just 14-36 at Turner
Field and have baseballs worst overall record, but they snapped a four-game skid
to Colorado.Following dominant outings through the seventh by Teheran and
Rockies starter Jon Gray, the Braves used four relievers and the Rockies one
before Germen (2-1) gave up Ender Inciartes leadoff single in the ninth.Anthony
Recker bunted over Inciarte, who advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on
dArnauds liner to left field.Teheran scattered three hits, walked one and struck
out five. Pitching for the majors weakest offense, the two-time All-Star
remained winless with a 2.90 ERA in 11 home starts.Teheran didnt allow a
baserunner until Tony Wolters singled in the fourth. That was all Colorado could
muster until Charlie Blackmon singled with two outs in the sixth.Daniel Delscaso
was the third Rockie to get into scoring position with a double in the seventh.
Cristhian Adames, the next batter, drew a four-pitch walk before Brandon Barnes
grounded out.Conditions were tough with a 102-degree heat index.It was getting
me at the end, but I was really focused in the game to give my team a chance to
win, Teheran said. Im just happy the way we finished.Jim Johnson (2-5) gave up
one walk in two-thirds of an inning to get the win.Gray, who allowed five hits
and three walks in a career-high 115 pitches, stranded two runners in the
seventh with his fifth strikeout. The rookie has a 3.11 ERA and 64 strikeouts in
his last 10 games.The first couple of innings I was kind of trying to find my
groove, but then I got going, Gray said. It was fun (going against Teheran). I
was glad to keep us in the game.DArnaud went 3 for 5 with three singles. He
credited Jace Peterson with drawing a walk to set up his at-bat.I swung right
through the first pitch, a change-up, dArnaud said. I was early, so I had to
make an adjustment from there. I wanted to shorten my swing up. I think because
I was taking my time loading, I was able to react a little quicker with the
fastball inside and square it up.TOUGH WEEKENDBraves 1B Freddie Freeman, who had
a cancerous mole removed from his upper back earlier in the week, struck out
four times, stranded three runners and went 0 for 11 in series.IN THE DIRT
AGAINTeherans wild pitch in the sixth was the Braves ninth in the series.
Atlanta leads the majors with 52 wild pitches.TRAINERS ROOMBraves RHP Shae
Simmons, sidelined by Tommy John surgery the last 1 1/2 years, will throw a
simulated game on Monday.UP NEXTRockies: LHP Tyler Anderson (1-3) won on July 9
for the first time in six starts. He will face Tampa Bay for the first
time.Braves: RHP Matt Wisler (4-8) is 1-0 with a 2.70 ERA in one career start
against Cincinnati.---This story has been corrected to show the last name of the
Rockies catcher is Wolters, not Walters.
