    Winans went 4.1 innings with five hits, two earned runs, five strikeouts and one walk. It was a decent outing for the first-time major leaguer.

    Austin Riley gives Braves their only runs

    Jul 21, 2023; Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA; Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley (27) hits a home run during the third inning against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field.

    Over his last five games, including Saturday, Austin Riley has hit six home runs and has driven in 16 runs. He's only the 10th player, since 2000, to have a five-game span like that during one season.

    He hit a three-run bomb in the third to give the Braves their only three runs of the game.

    Sean Murphy killed by All-Star break

    In 24 at-bats since the All-Star break, Murphy has two hits and eight strikeouts.

    He's hit a very cold streak during a 2-4 stretch for Atlanta.
