After putting two runners on, Craig Kimbrel struck out pinch-hitter Ike Davis and Lucas Duda to earn his 41st save of the season.

Chris Young (4-9) was once again charged with the loss despite tossing his fourth straight quality start. He pitched six strong innings, but gave up two runs on seven hits. He struck out six.

Chipper Jones, who is playing his final regular season games at Turner Field, once again went 0-for-4.
