ATLANTA (AP) — Tommy La Stella is used to coming through off
the bench.The homer was something new.The first pinch-hit homer of La Stella’s
career tied a franchise record and carried the Chicago Cubs to a 5-4 victory
over the Atlanta Braves in a matchup of NL division leaders Thursday night.“I
don’t get to play much Eric Thames
Jersey ,” said La Stella, who homered against the team he started
with in the big leagues. “I definitely appreciate the opportunities when I get
them.”Chicago stopped off at SunTrust Park for a single game before starting a
regularly scheduled 10-game road trip, making up a contest that was washed out
May 17.La Stella made it a fruitful layover, tying the team record with his 20th
pinch hit of the season. After Atlanta went ahead with a three-run fifth, the
infielder launched a two-run shot off Mike Foltynewicz that nearly reached the
Chop House restaurant above the right-field seats .“He’s always ready to hit,”
manager Joe Maddon said. “He sees one pitch he can hit, and he crushes
it.”Chicago won for the eighth time in nine games, maintaining its 4 1/2-game
lead in the NL Central.Freddie Freeman had three RBIs for the Braves, who lost
for the fourth time in six games but still lead the East by three
games.Foltynewicz (10-9) was roughed up after an otherwise dominating August in
which he went 3-1 with a 1.38 ERA over his first five starts. The right-hander
surrendered six hits and five runs (four earned) over six innings, grooving a
fastball to La Stella.“I went two curveballs there and I was trying to go up
over the bat,” Foltynewicz said. “I think I might have missed right down at his
belt there, and he got a good swing on it obviously.”Mike Montgomery came off
the disabled list to make his first start for the Cubs since Aug. 7, going 4 2/3
innings.Brandon Kintzler (2-3) claimed the win by getting the final out of the
fifth. Pedro Strop worked the ninth for his 11th save.BAEZ’S WILD RIDEChicago
shortstop Javier Baez wreaked havoc in the dugout after striking out in the
seventh.But he put that tirade behind him in the ninth Glenn
Robinson Jersey , making a brilliant over-the-shoulder catch while
running flat-out with his back toward home plate to help preserve the
victory.“That was as good a catch as you’ll see,” Maddon said. “The important
thing is they don’t carry defeat at the plate out with them on defense.”HEYWARD
HURTCubs center fielder Jason Heyward had to leave the game in the fifth after
diving for Freeman’s opposite-field liner. Heyward stretched out but failed to
get a glove on the ball, which rolled all the way to the wall for a two-run
triple .Heyward had tightness in his right hamstring but was able to walk slowly
off the field, getting a hug from former teammate Freeman on his way to the Cubs
dugout. Maddon said his player will need further evaluation but is expected to
miss at least the next couple of games at Philadelphia.FOLTY’S BALKFoltynewicz
wasn’t sure why he was called for a balk in the second inning, which contributed
to a two-run inning for the Cubs.“All I really did was just spit,” he said. “I’d
take it like a man if it was really a balk, but I know in that moment I didn’t
really do anything.”Shortstop Ozzie Albies also made a huge mistake in the
second, unleashing a throw that bounced far in front of the plate for an error
while trying to get Heyward breaking from third.DUDA ARRIVESLucas Duda is
suddenly part of a playoff race after spending most of the season with a team
going nowhere.The slugging first baseman joined the Braves on Thursday after
being acquired from the Kansas City Royals. He instantly went from a team that
was 37 1/2 games behind in the AL Central to first place.“I’m happy to fill my
role and help the team in any way I can,” said Duda, who flied out in the sixth
as a pinch-hitter in his first Atlanta appearance.The Braves optioned infielder
Rio Ruiz to Triple-A Gwinnett.TRAINER’S ROOMCubs: 3B Kris Bryant (shoulder)
struck out twice Thursday while batting leadoff during a rehab stint at Iowa.
He’ll likely rejoin the big league club this weekend. … LHP Brian Duensing
(shoulder) is also expected back after the rosters expand on Saturday. He’s been
sidelined since Aug. 3.Braves: The bullpen could be rather crowded for the final
month of the season. RHPs Shane Carle (shoulder), Peter Moylan (forearm) and
Brandon McCarthy (knee) are rehabbing at Triple-A Gwinnett with no apparent
issues. Closer Arodys Vizcaino (right shoulder) is set to throw a batting
practice session on Friday, which could be a precursor to his rehab stint in the
minors. RHP Jose Ramirez (shoulder) is showing signs of improvement after
missing much of the season.UP NEXTCubs: Chicago travels to Philadelphia to face
another playoff-contending team in a weekend series. LHP Jose Quintana (11-9,
4.33) will get the nod in Friday’s opener against Phillies RH
