PADRES 5 BRAVES 2 F...FRIARS smother "CHOP Shop" 404 Starter Alex Wood en route to a 5-2 "W"..."A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report" as the BRAVES are slowly falling behind the NL East leading NATS! #SDvsATL

The Friars Starter Jesse Hahn was golden on the Bump and the Friars waisted no time chasing Braves Starter Alex Wood. San Diego scores in four of the first 5 innings as Friars First Baseman Tommy Medica led the charge going 4 for 5. Lead-Off CF Chris Denorfia was a "Thorn" in Braves Country's Side as he goes 3 for 5 scoring two runs with an RBI.

Hahn with plenty of runs to work with gets the "W" going six strong allowing three hits and a run. Braves First Baseman Freddie Freeman was the only Brave with two hits and he scored both the Braves runs as well. Chop Shop Starter Wood allowed a dozen hits and five runs though just five innings as he struck out four. Wood falls to 7-8 as the Chop Shop falls to 55-48. The Nats beat the Red Legs in Cincy tonight moving the Braves 2.5 games back in the NL East.

The Friars 3rd in the NL West moves to 46-56 as they try and run down both the Dodgers and Giants.  They will need some help from both as the Friars eleven games back.
