Broxton, Shaw HRs back Davies to blank Braves

June 25th, 2017

ATLANTA -- drilled a titanic first-inning home run and was efficient as the Brewers beat the Braves, 7-0, on Sunday at SunTrust Park.
Davies scattered four hits over seven innings with one walk and no strikeouts against the Braves, who had averaged 6.25 runs while winning seven of their past eight games. He also recorded his first career extra-base hit -- a fourth-inning leadoff double -- that chased .
"It was a great homestand," Braves manager Brian Snitker said. "We played some great games. Today, it just didn't work, and Julio wasn't hitting anything. He just had a tough day. Their guy was being really efficient and throwing the ball really well."
• Davies relies on two-seam fastball

The Brewers' right-hander gained early support as Shaw and homered in the first two innings. Broxton added a two-run single during a three-run third and finished a triple shy of the cycle.
"The big inning for me was the third when we had two outs and nobody on and we put together five or six at-bats that were outstanding," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. "That's one of our best innings of the year, I think, the way we put it together."

Teheran surrendered seven earned runs on seven hits over a season-low three-plus innings. The Braves' right-hander had recorded three encouraging starts since producing a similarly ugly outing in Cincinnati three weeks ago. But he has now allowed at least six earned runs in five of his past 19 starts.
"I didn't have my fastball, and my command wasn't the best," Teheran said. "But they're a good hitting team with a good lineup. Whenever a guy starts missing his spots and falling behind like that, they're going to take advantage."
Milwaukee avoided being swept in a three-game series for the first time this season.

Santana delivered another two-out single to account for the Brewers' first baserunner during a three-run third. then sandwiched an RBI single between two walks before scoring on Broxton's two-run single.
"Whenever you get two quick outs or get a guy with two strikes, the last thing you want to do is walk him or give up a base hit," Teheran said. "Today was kind of one of those days. I was trying to command execute the next pitch, and I just couldn't."

QUOTABLE
"We feel good. It's not just one week. It's a long season. We just want to keep playing like we have been. The fans like it, and we love it. We just want to keep winning series and games every day." -- Center fielder , who has helped the Braves win each of their past four series
