Sadly, the Braves weren't able to pull off the comeback victory and lost 2-1 to the Philadelphia Phillies. […]

Touki Toussaint Strikes Out 10 In Loss

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Touki Toussaint was looking like an ace on the mound during Sunday's battle with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Eli White Blasts Solo Shot On Sunday

Max Scherzer Drawing Trade Interest From Mets

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer is drawing increased trade interest from the New York Mets, according to Andy Martino of SNY.
