August 22: Braves 2, Pirates 1

Jake Odorizzi turned in a good performance and Michael Harris supplied all of the offense the Atlanta Braves would need in a 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Odorizzi struck out seven and allowed one run over six innings. Harris’ two-run home run in the fifth inning accounted for all of Atlanta’s runs. Kenley Jansen worked a perfect ninth to nail down the save.
