Atlanta Braves Clippings Friday, May 20, 2016 Braves.Com Atlanta Braves Clippings Friday, May 20, 2016 Braves.com Foltynewicz struggles as Braves drop finale By Adam Berry and Mark Bowman / MLB.com | 12:43 AM ET PITTSBURGH -- Left-hander Jeff Locke threw seven strong innings, Gregory Polanco led another complete performance by the Pirates' lineup and the Bucs beat the Braves, 8-2, on Thursday night to clinch a victory in their four-game series at PNC Park. Forty games into the season, the Pirates are 22-18. It's the third time since 1993 that Pittsburgh reached the quarter pole with a winning record, having last done so in 2013 (23-17) and 1997 (21-19). Locke bounced back from a rough start against the Cubs and worked seven full innings for the second time in his last four starts, holding the Braves to two runs on six hits while striking out six. Unlike Wednesday night, Pittsburgh's bats backed up their starter, pounding out eight runs on 11 hits -- including three from leadoff man John Jaso and Jordy Mercer and two from Polanco. "That's the part that feels good, able to eat up some innings for the guys," Locke said. "[Catcher Chris Stewart] and I were on the same page the whole time. ... Had a good idea what we wanted to do, and he's smart back there." Polanco flashed rarely seen power in the second inning, launching an 80-mph curveball over the left-center-field wall off Braves starter Mike Foltynewicz -- who gave up five runs (four earned) in three innings. The two-run homer, Polanco's fifth of the season, traveled 409 feet from home plate the opposite way and into the stands with an exit velocity of 105 mph, according to Statcast™. "He did it in the Minor Leagues. He's done it before," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said of Polanco. "It stands out in this ballpark when you can do it out there. That's a big reach." Polanco's barrage against Atlanta's pitching staff continued in the fifth, when he smashed a leadoff triple high off the right-field wall and scored on a sacrifice fly by Jung Ho Kang. "When you give up those multiple runs real quick, it's tough to come back," Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said after watching Foltynewicz surrender six of his seven hits with two outs. MOMENTS THAT MATTERED Welcome back, Dad: Fresh off the paternity list following the birth of his daughter, Tiana, Pirates left fielder Starling Marte knocked a two-run single to right field in the first inning against Foltynewicz to open the scoring. One of the Pirates' most productive hitters thus far this season, Marte missed the first three games of this series to be with his family. Two-out trouble: Foltynewicz retired two of the first three batters he faced before hitting Kang with a 1-2 fastball. The first of Tyler Flowers' two passed balls set the stage for Marte to spark Pittsburgh's two-run first with a bloop single to shallow right. Then in the second inning, the Braves right-hander allowed three consecutive two-out hits, including Polanco's two-run homer. Foltynewicz had allowed two earned runs in 15 innings over his two previous starts. "A lot of hits came with two strikes and they were all up in the zone," Foltynewicz said. "If they're in the bottom of the zone, things might have been different. I just really wanted to get the team a win tonight, and I think I just tried to do too much and tried to throw the ball too hard." Fourth time's the charm: After making three quick trips in and out of Pittsburgh last season without throwing a pitch, reliever Wilfredo Boscan finally got on the mound at PNC Park. Called up Thursday afternoon to replace left-hander Cory Luebke in the bullpen, Boscan tossed a perfect eighth inning and a scoreless ninth to seal the victory. "That was really nice. Waited a long time for that debut," Hurdle said. "He's made a lot of trips here for that debut, and that was quick and efficient." Power surge: Jeff Francoeur notched the first of the two consecutive doubles surrendered by Locke to begin the fourth inning and then opened the sixth inning with his second home run of the season and of the series. The six home runs the Braves hit during this four-game series matched the total they have compiled over 19 games at Turner Field this season. "You've got to imagine that was the most extra-base hits we had in a series this year, so that's a positive," Francoeur said. "We're going to [Philadelphia], it's a good place to hit. Hopefully, we can carry it there this weekend and do some damage there and score some runs. You definitely have to like how we're driving the ball better." QUOTABLE "First thing I told him was, 'That's not how mine went. That's for sure.'" -- Locke, on Boscan's impressive debut "Mr. Polanco is doing a really good job. He's doing a great job. He's playing baseball really well." -- Jaso, on Polanco's impressive start to the season at the plate SOUND SMART WITH YOUR FRIENDS Andrew McCutchen's RBI single in the second inning was his 612th career hit at PNC Park, tying former Pirates shortstop Jack Wilson for the all- time hits record at Pittsburgh's ballpark along the Allegheny River. McCutchen already owns the record for career homers (76) at PNC Park. WHAT'S NEXT Braves: Matt Wisler will take the mound when Atlanta begins a three-game series in Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park on Friday at 7:05 p.m. ET. Wisler has pitched into the eighth inning in each of his past three starts, including his May 10 loss to the Phillies. Pirates: Coming off arguably the best start of his career, Gerrit Cole will take the mound to begin the Pirates' three-game weekend series against the Rockies on Friday at 7:05 p.m. ET at PNC Park. Cole threw eight shutout innings against the Cubs on Sunday. Braves' young arms experiencing growing pains Foltynewicz, Blair, Perez all struggle against Pirates By Mark Bowman / MLB.com | @mlbbowman | 12:11 AM ET PITTSBURGH -- Even though they came to Pittsburgh feeling good about the early results produced by their reconfigured, young starting rotation, the Braves knew they were still bound to continue dealing with some growing pains. They were felt throughout this week's four-game series at PNC Park. Like Williams Perez and Aaron Blair were earlier this week, Mike Foltynewicz was grounded against the Pirates, lasting just three innings during Thursday night's 8-2 loss. Foltynewicz had shown his tremendous potential in the two starts leading up to this latest outing, which simply provided a reminder that he is a 24-year-old and has made just 19 career starts. "It's all part of the process," Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said. "I can see what he's capable of. It's just the consistency. A lot of guys have had to go through that. The stuff is coming out good. It's just the command. I think for all young pitchers it's about getting it to go where you want." The five members of Atlanta's rotation at the beginning of this series had combined to produce a 2.21 ERA over 12 games this month. But despite the fact that staff veteran Julio Teheran tossed 7 2/3 scoreless innings in Wednesday's win, the Braves saw their starting pitchers allow 19 earned runs over 18 innings during this four-game set. Each member of Atlanta's current rotation is 25 years old or younger, and Teheran is the only one who has made more than 30 career starts. "There's going to be more growing pains," Snitker said. "We'll hang in there with them and keep working with them." Perez surrendered six earned runs over six innings on Monday, while Blair retired just three of the 14 batters he faced during Tuesday's loss and then was subsequently optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett to gain some of the added development he may still need. When Foltynewicz took the mound on Thursday, he was coming off two dominant starts and attempting to feed off the confidence gained by tossing eight scoreless innings in Kansas City on Saturday. But when he encountered early trouble against the Pirates, he reverted to overthrowing and paid the price, as he allowed five runs -- four earned -- and seven hits (six with two outs) while recording just nine outs. "We'd rather go up the hill gradually, instead of having two good outings and then a bad one right after that," Foltynewicz said. "We're getting it. It's just a little fine tuning here and there and concentrating in certain situations." Aybar OK after chicken bone stuck in throat Braves SS rejoins team at PNC Park following sedated procedure at nearby medical facility By Mark Bowman / MLB.com | @mlbbowman | May 19th, 2016 PITTSBURGH -- When Brian Snitker prepared to serve as a big league manager for the first time on Tuesday, he prepared himself for the new experiences that awaited him. But he certainly did not anticipate a chicken bone would force him to alter his lineup just three days into the job. Atlanta shortstop Erick Aybar experienced a brief scare on Thursday afternoon, when he was transported to a Pittsburgh medical facility to have a chicken bone removed from his throat.

    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).
