Marcell Ozuna delivers run
ATLANTA (AP) — Marcell Ozuna’s run-scoring single in the eighth inning gave Atlanta the lead and the Braves beat the Boston Red Sox 4-2 on Tuesday night to snap a three-game losing streak.
Boston’s Kutter Crawford and Atlanta’s Reynaldo López each allowed two runs in a matchup of right-handers with ERA’s under 2.00.
The Braves were held to seven hits, so couldn’t proclaim the end of their losing streak to be an awakening for their slumping bats. They were held to a combined six runs while being swept in three games by the Los Angeles Dodgers to end a 1-5 road trip.
“It’s a rough thing to go through,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “We’re not through it yet.”
The Braves again relied on their pitching, including left-hander Aaron Bummer, who struck out Jaren Duran and Rafael Evers to end the sixth after the Red Sox scored two runs off López.
