    Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez had several plays to choose as the game's best moment.

    Freddie Freeman hit in the clutch. Justin Upton, Jason Heyward and Andrelton Simmons saved runs with their gloves. Julio Teheran escaped bases-loaded jams in the fourth and sixth innings.

    Gonzalez decided, though, that Ramiro Pena's baserunning in the bottom of the sixth was his favorite.

    "I thought the play of the game was the hustle by Pena," Gonzalez said. "(Andres) Torres misplays that ball, and (Pena) hustles all the way and gets to third base, and we were able to execute a squeeze with (Jordan) Schafer and get an extra run."

    Freeman singled three times and drove in one run, Teheran pitched six innings and the Atlanta Braves beat the San Francisco Giants 3-0 on Sunday night.
