[Manhart]

I was looking for something over the plate and put a good swing at it.Blevins said it was poor location that gave McMahon something to hit.I wanted to go down and away and I left it up and in the middle, he said.That was on me.Nolan Arenado started the inning with a walk off Anthony Swarzak (1-2) and Blevins fanned Daniel Murphy before McMahon homer.I dropped my bat and started running https://www.bravesgearfansstore.com/Michael_Soroka_Jersey-45, McMahon said.I didnt know right away so I wanted to make it to second base.Jairo Diaz (5-3) blew the save in the ninth but got the win.Monday was a makeup from the April 10th game postponed due to inclement weather and forced Atlanta to crisscross the country.The Braves, who had their eight-game winning streak snapped, traveled to Denver on Sunday night after playing in New York, and right after the game boarded a plane for Toronto to take on the Blue Jays.You dont belabor or dwell on because it what we signed up to do, Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said.It not going to be all the time. We have an off day in two days. It isnt like we came out here and now have to play 25 in a row.Colorado starter Tim Melville pitched five scoreless innings and now has allowed just one run over 12 innings since being recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque last week. The 29-year-old journeyman was pitching in the Atlantic League this spring before signing a minor league deal with Colorado https://www.bravesgearfansstore.com/Sam_Freeman_Jersey-36.He escaped a run in the fourth when Freddie Freeman was thrown out at home trying to score from second, and in the fifth he walked Ronald Acuna and Ozzie Albies to load the bases but got Freeman to ground out to end another threat.I had Albies and Acuna 0-2 and lost them, Melville said.That something you dont want to have happen so you step off the mound and take a deep breath. That what did it right there. We executed and got out of that inning.Atlanta starter Julio Teheran didnt allow a run over six innings and has a 13-inning scoreless streak.The Rockies took a 1-0 lead in the eighth on Charlie Blackmon sacrifice fly but Atlanta tied it in the ninth when pinch-hitter Adeiny Hechavarria drove in a run with a sacrifice fly https://www.bravesgearfansstore.com/Kyle_Wright_Jersey-75.TRAINERS ROOMBraves SS Dansby Swanson was activated from the 10-day injured list and was in the starting lineup on Monday.
