Atlanta Braves (10-9) vs. Washington Nationals (7-13)
Game No. 20  April 28, 2015  Turner Field  Atlanta, ga.
RHP Julio Teheran (2-1, 4.64) vs. RHP A.J. Cole (MLB Debut)
TONIGHT’S GAME: The Braves play the second game of a 10-game homestand and battle the Nationals in
the second game of a three-game series and the second of 19 meetings between the two clubs this season (nine at
Turner Field, 10 at Nationals Park)...The Braves claimed an 11-8 edge in last season’s series, including an 6-3 mark
at Turner Field...The Braves own an all-time advantage of 339-301, including a 178-143 record in games played in
Atlanta (94-62 at Turner Field)...BACK HOME AGAIN: On Sunday the Braves concluded a nine-game, 10-day
road trip in which they went 3-6 at Toronto (2-1), New York (0-3) and Philadelphia (1-2)...Atlanta was on the road
for 12 of its first 18 games of the season...Eighteen of Atlanta’s first 21 games are against teams from the National
League East division...LOOKING AHEAD: After this series the Braves will battle Cincinnati in a four-game
series this weekend and then will face the Philadelphia Phillies for three games, May 4-6.
BRAVES OF LATE: The Braves have won two of their last three games, but have dropped five of their last
seven contests and nine of their last 14... Atlanta won its first five games of the season, including a season-opening
sweep at Miami.
NICE NIGHT FOR KJ: Kelly Johnson went 3-for-4 last night with a homer (#3) and three RBI...It marked
Johnson’s 52nd career game with three-or-more hits and the 17th time he had at least three hits and three RBI...
MILLENNIUM MAN: A .250 career hitter, Johnson stands just seven hits shy of 1,000.
A.J.’s STREAK: Veteran C A.J. Pierzynski went 1-for-3 last night and has hit safely in all 10 of his games
this season (14-for-37, .378, 3 HR)...CAREER-BEST START: Pierzynski’s hot start marks his career-best hitting streak to open a season...It’s the longest hitting streak to open a season by a Braves player since Martin Prado
hit in 10 straight to begin the 2010 campaign...PARK IT: Pierzynski poked his second home run of the season
and his first career homer at Turner Field on 4/14 as part of a back-to-back effort with Freddie Freeman in the fourth
inning...Pierzynski has homered in 31 different MLB ballparks...There are just three current parks in which he has at
least one plate appearance and has failed to homer (Citi Field, Nationals Park and Dodger Stadium).
 IT’S CONTAGIOUS: The Braves committed just one error through their first 12 games of the season, but
have committed 11 in the last seven games, including two last night...The recent slump has dropped Atlanta from the
best overall fielding percentage in the majors (.998) to seventh in the NL (.983)...Atlanta is last in the majors in fielding since (.957) over the last seven days (since 4/21)...TURN TWO: The Braves defense is third in the NL with
23 double plays turned in 19 games this season...They turned five double plays in their 6-5 loss at Toronto on 4/18.

IN A PINCH: INF Alberto Callaspo poked his third career pinch-hit home run Sunday in the ninth inning at
PHI...It was the second pinch homer of the season for Atlanta, after OF Jonny Gomes clubbed his 10th career pinchhit home run on 4/17 with a solo shot in the eighth inning at Toronto...Gomes is the active Major League leader in
pinch homers (see chart at right) and ranks T17th in pinch homers over the last 42 seasons (since 1974).
 CLUB RECORD FOR GRILLI: Closer Jason Grilli made his seventh appearance of the season Saturday
at PHI and posted a perfect ninth inning to seal the Braves’ 5-2 victory...It marked the seventh save for Grilli and,
according to the Elias Sports Bureau, that’s the most saves before the start of May by a Braves pitcher in his first
season with the team...The old record was six, by Dan Kolb in 2005.
 LEADING MAN: OF Nick Markakis has batted leadoff in the last three games (3-for-12, four runs, three
walks)...Markakis ranks T12th in the NL in batting average (.333) and fifth in on-base percentage (.436)...11 OF
14: Markakis had his eight-game hitting streak snapped Friday (0-for-3) at PHI, but has hit safely in 11 of his last
14 games, going 19-for-50 (.380) with a .483 on-base pct. in that stretch...He went 13-for-32 (.406) on the justcompleted nine-game road trip, including 7-for-10 in the three-game series at Toronto (with a 4-for-4 game on 4/17).
NICE INHERITANCE: The Braves’ bullpen leads the majors by allowing only 10% (4-of-40) of their inherited runners to score so far this season.
RISPY BUSINESS: The Braves rank third in the National League and fourth in the majors with a .308 batting average with runners in scoring position...They ranked 13th in the NL last season with a .236 RISP average.
 CHART TOPPER: INF Alberto Callaspo’s career rate of 11.16 plate appearances per strikeout is the best
among all active players in the majors (see chart at right)...RARE DAY: Callaspo struck out twice at the plate on
4/18 at TOR - his first two strikeouts of the season...In the 890 career games in which he’s had at least two at-bats,
Callaspo has fanned two-or-more times in a game just 48 times.
FRONT RUNNERS: The Braves have scored first 10 times this season and have gone 7-3 in those games.
MARTA SHUTTLE ALERT: The Atlanta Braves Shuttle provided by MARTA will operate out of the West
End Station and will remain in place for the duration of this season (the Braves Shuttle was previously operated out
of the Five Points Station)...All fans will be picked up and dropped off at the north end of the West End Station, and
the shuttle will continue to operate starting 90 minutes before each game and will run throughout the game until
one hour after the final out...The West End Station is located at 60 Lee Street, SW, Atlanta, GA 30310...For more
information on the West End Station go to: www.itsmarta.com.
 BRAVES TO HONOR DON SUTTON WITH HOF INDUCTION: Longtime broadcaster Don Sutton
will be inducted to the Braves Hall of Fame on Monday, July 20, at the 755 Club at Turner Field...A pregame ceremony
will follow that evening when the Braves take on the Dodgers...Before his broadcast days, Sutton had a stellar playing
career that spanned 23 seasons...His Major League career was highlighted by 324 wins with the Los Angeles Dodgers,
Houston Astros, Milwaukee Brewers and California Angels. Sutton began his career in 1966 with the Dodgers, where he
stayed for 16 years and achieved many of his personal bests...Following his time with the Dodgers, he spent intervals of
time with the Astros, Brewers and Angels before retiring in 1988...Sutton ranks seventh on baseball’s all-time strikeout list
with 3,574 and appeared in more than 750 games throughout his career...In 1989, Sutton joined Turner Sports as an analyst
for Braves telecasts on TBS and spent 18 years covering Atlanta. After a two-year stint with the Washington Nationals
from 2007-2009, Sutton returned to the Braves broadcast team, where he still resides...Sutton’s baseball accomplishments
were recognized and celebrated in 1998 when he was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
