Braves fall to Padres

The Braves continued their offensive drought in the first half of September.  San Diego rookie Burch Smith struck out 10 and took a no-hitter into the sixth inning as the Padres dealt the Braves a 4-0 loss on Sunday afternoon. The Braves dropped just their third three-game series at home this season. The loss sets up a simple clinch scenario for the Braves as they head to Washington for a three-game series against the Nationals, with their magic number holding fast at four.  If the Braves win the series, they win the division. The Atlanta Braves are now 89-60 on the season.  Catch all the exciting action of Atlanta Braves baseball here on WSNW.
