Perhaps it was fitting the way the Braves’ 10-game winning streak ended- rather than hit their way into a win, three Royals pitchers did what only one other team has been able to do- shut down a potent offense.

Former Tampa Bay Ray Wade Davis and two relievers combined for a six-hit shutout in the first weekday afternoon game of the year at Turner Field.

Juan Francisco had two hits in the loss, but 11 Braves strikeouts dominated the stat line.
