Pitching dominated a series that began with high-scoring games; Wednesday's matchup ended 1-0. Hurston Waldrep scattered four hits, struck out seven and walked one across seven scoreless innings. Martín Pérez allowed one unearned run on three hits in 5 1/3 innings, struck out five and issued no walks in a 74-pitch outing in his first start after returning from the 60-day injured list. The Chicago offense managed four singles by Mike Tauchman, Brooks Baldwin, Luis Robert Jr. and Curtis Mead. The Braves took two of three in the series.
I was in my rhythm again and attacking from the first pitch. I think moving the ball very well, the strike zone in, was good for me today. I think we are doing a great job, man. We lost the game but it's part of the game. You've got to keep going.
Waldrep, really good (splitter), (we) knew that coming in. It was extremely effective tonight. And then we had to honor that and he was able to use all his stuff effectively on top of that. So credit to him.
