You see everything.Freeman returned to the lineup afteer missing Sundays game with a finger injury.ddddddddddddHe also doubled and scored three times.Fingers good. Felt good. Didnt know what to expect, just seeing what was going to happen, he said.

Mike Foltynewicz pitched six innings and allowed four runs and nine hits, striking out seven.Atlantas big lead disappeared with Chris Owings RBI single in the bottom of the second, Goldschmidts sacrifice fly in the third and Tomas home run, trimming the Braves lead to 5-4.
