Jesse Biddle Brilliant, But Braves' Relief Falters In 14th

Mike Foltynewicz provided the bullpen a much-needed day off with a complete-game gem on Friday night. But when pushed deep into extra innings on Saturday at SunTrust Park, Braves manager Brian Snitker had to call upon Socolovich, who would not have been with the Braves if not for the domino effect created by the extended absence of Luiz Gohara. The outcome proved to be predictable, other than the fact that Max Scherzer sparked the two-run frame that gave the Nationals a 5-3, 14-inning victory.
