Braves blow out Brewers 10-1
How the game was won: The Braves scored seven runs in the seventh inning, turning what had been a 1-1 pitchers' duel into a blowout in a 10-1 win over the Brewers to open a four-game series at Turner Field. Julio Teheran (4-1) allowed just two hits, one run and one walk with eight strikeouts in seven innings, and the Braves won for the fifth time in six games to move back to .500 (20-20).
Number: 1. Home-run total for the Braves while going 5-1 in their past six games. They've won most of those games the way this team knew it would have to win this season, with good pitching and better situational hitting than last year's team. They've had 10 or more hits in four of their past six games, including 11 hits (and no homers) Thursday.
What's next: The Braves and Brewers play the second game of a four-game series Friday at 7:35 p.m., with lefty Alex Wood (2-2, 3.83 ERA) facing Milwaukee right-hander Wily Peralta (1-5, 4.32).
