Braves baffle Cubs for 2-0 win

May 14 - Zack Short drove in the go-ahead run in the sixth for his first RBI of the season and four pitchers combined on a shutout as the Atlanta Braves beat the visiting Chicago Cubs 2-0 on Monday in the opener of a three-game series.

The Braves scored both of their runs with two outs in the sixth off reliever Hayden Wesneski (2-2). Travis d'Arnaud and Short delivered back-to-back doubles before Ronald Acuna Jr. brought Short home with a single.

Short was acquired from Boston on Thursday and was playing in only his second game with the team because of an upper-body injury to starting third baseman Austin Riley.
