The Atlanta Braves have had key injuries all over the Mound but fail to make any excuses and press on. They sweep the Cincinnati Reds 3-0 but not after Starters Jhonny Cueto and Julio Teheran go down the Alley for eight innings and battle.
Cueto had everything working as he went eight strong allowing just three hits and striking out eleven issuing just three free passes. Teheran was equally as impressive going eight as well allowing three hits walking two while striking out five. The Hitters scuffled all day versus both as both teams were also more than happy to see the Pens get into the action as neither Cueto or Teheran figured into the decision.
In the bottom half of the 10th with two outs an a Jason Heyward and B.J. Upton back to back singles it was up to Freddie Freeman. Freeman then with Ducks on 2nd and 1st singled to CF for the game-0winner scoring Heyward as the Braves finish the sweep and moves to 17-7 on the 2014 season. The Reds fall to 11-14 and that is good for 3rd in the rugged NL Central.
