Braves Upend Red Sox, 5-1
Gerrit Cole never let the Red Sox get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his fastball, to pitch the Braves to a win, 5-1. Atlanta raised its record to 23-12 with the win.

Marcelo Mayer, the 21-year old shortstop , had a direct impact on the outcome. Mayer contributed a 2-run triple in the top of the second inning to put Atlanta up, 2-0.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Atlanta skipper Ed Greene.
