Ozzie Albies got the Braves on the board with an RBI single in the bottom of the second inning. Sean Murphy had a two-run homer in the third. Ramon Laureano made it 4-0 in favor of Atlanta with a home run to lead off the bottom of the fourth. Albies also scored on a throwing error in that inning. Murphy clubbed another two-run homer in the fifth.
Reynaldo Lopez was Atlanta’s winning pitcher. He surrendered seven hits, walked one, and struck out six over five scoreless innings. Tarik Skubal took the loss for Detroit.
