EDGE Analysis

What looked to be a thrilling pitcher's duel between Newcomb and Jacob deGrom fell apart when deGrom left after four innings with a hyperextended elbow, but the Braves left-hander more than held up his end, throwing 70 of 97 pitches for strikes while generating 16 swinging strikes. Newcomb will take a 3.38 ERA into his next start Tuesday on the road against the Rays.
