Homers blast Braves past Brewers

Brian McCann quickly ended the Atlanta Braves long scoreless string. McCann hit a first-inning grand slam to snap a 24-inning scoreless streak, lifting the Braves to a 7-4 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday at Miller Park. The Braves managed only six hits in consecutive 2-0 losses to the Brewers on Friday and Saturday, and the team desperately wanted to score early on Sunday. McCann made it happen, hitting a 94-mph fastball on a 2-1 pitch into the Brewers’ bullpen for his 10th grand slam. The slam set the tone, and the Braves pounded 14 hits to win the final game of the series. Each of the eight starting position players reached base. Chris Johnson and Jordan Schafer also homered for the Braves. The Atlanta Braves are now 44-33 on the season.  Catch all the exciting action of Atlanta Braves baseball here on WSNW.
