Center Fielder Ender Inciarte
Shortstop Erick Aybar
First Baseman Freddie Freeman
Third Baseman Adonis García
Right Fielder Nick Markakis
Left Fielder Héctor Olivera
Catcher A. J. Pierzynski
Second Baseman Jace Peterson
Starting Pitcher Julio Teherán

The Braves began their season with a 4–3 loss in 10 innings after blowing the save in the top of the 9th.[3] Nick Markakis of the Braves fell afoul of Major League Baseball's new "Chase Utley Rule" in the 7th inning when he slid too far out to the left of second base and initially prevented Daniel Murphy of the Nationals from making the double play.[4]

The Braves ended their two-game series against the Nationals with a 3–1 loss after Matt den Dekker, who had been called up from the Syracuse Chiefs just a few hours prior, hit a two-run double to right-center.[5]

Consecutive series sweeps

Despite opening up their next series with a four-run lead, the Braves gave up seven unanswered runs in a 7–4 loss to the Cardinals.[6] Atlanta also gave up an MLB record three home runs to pinch hitters.[7] In the second of the three-game series against the Cardinals, the Braves allowed nine unanswered runs in a 12–2 loss.[8] After the loss, the Braves were the only team in the National League to have not won a single game yet.[9] Atlanta closed out a three-game series against the Cardinals with a 12–7 loss.[10] Braves pitcher Daniel Winkler suffered an elbow fracture after pitching 6 2/3rd's innings.[11]

Things didn't improve on the first road trip of the season as the Braves lost 6–4 to the Nationals and fell to 0–6 for the first time since 1988.[12] Mallex Smith, who earned a hit in his MLB debut, left the game in the fourth inning after suffering a cut to his face by his helmet.[13] After eight scoreless innings in the second game of the series, Bryce Harper brought in two runs on a double to left field and the Nationals won 2–1.[14] Home runs by Stephen Drew and Jayson Werth in the fourth inning handed the Braves their eighth loss of the season as the Nationals won 3–0.[15] The Braves ended their road series against the Nationals with a 6–2 loss.[16]

First wins vs. Marlins

After trailing 3–0 against the Marlins, the Braves scored six unanswered runs to win their first game of the season.[17] Jason Grilli earned his first save since July 2015 with a 6–4 win over the Marlins in the second game of the series.[18] The Braves swept the series over the Marlins with a 6–5 victory in a 10-inning game.[19]

Continued struggles

The Braves earned their fourth win of the season against former Braves pitcher Alex Wood and the Los Angeles Dodgers in a lopsided 8–1 game at Turner Field.[20] Wood said after the game that it "was not really the way I pictured coming back here for the first time. Fastball command was the most frustrating thing. I don't even know if I've walked in a run before in my professional career. The walks were pretty frustrating. It was a tough one to swallow, but I have another one in five days."[21] Despite a 3-1 lead, the Dodgers scored four unanswered runs to snap the Braves four-game win streak.[22] A Yasmani Grandal double in the 10th inning gave the Dodgers a 2–1 victory in the Braves's fourth extra-inning game of the season.[23]

The Braves opened their next series with a 6–3 loss to the New York Mets.[24] In the second game of the series, the Braves lost 8–2.[25] The Braves ended their three-game series against the Mets with a 3–2 loss.[26]

In their first interleague series of the season, former Braves closer Craig Kimbrel earned his 94th career save at Turner Field in a 1–0 victory over the Braves.[27] In the second game of the series, David Price pitched 14 strikeouts to secure an 11–4 victory over the Braves.[28] In the third game of the series and first of two at Fenway Park, the Braves surrendered a grand slam to Dustin Pedroia in a 9–4 loss to the Red Sox.[29] Freddie Freeman ended the Braves's 15-game home run-less streak with a deep ball into right-center field in the eighth inning.[30] In the final game of the series, three RBI's by Markakis contributed to the Braves ending their eight-game losing skid with a 5–3 victory over the Red Sox.[31]

Despite a Freeman home run in the fourth inning, the Braves allowed six unanswered runs, including their fourth grand slam of the season, in a 6–1 loss to the Cubs.[32]

May

4–10 start

A sacrifice fly by Markakis in the 10th inning allowed Daniel Castro to score the go-ahead run and beat the Cubs 4–3.[33]

In his 2016 debut, Mike Foltynewicz gave up three home runs in a 4–1 loss to the Mets.[34] In the second game of the series, pitcher Matt Wisler surrendered one hit and earned his first win of the season in a 3–0 game against the Mets.[35] The Braves fell 8–0 in the series finale to the Mets.[36] Primary leadoff hitter Markakis wasn't in the lineup for the series finale as he traveled back home to Baltimore to tend to a family emergency.[37]

Two errors by the Braves led to a 7–2 loss in the first of three games against the Diamondbacks.[38] Former Braves starting pitcher Shelby Miller earned his first win of the season in a 4–2 victory over the Braves.[39] Despite a two-run RBI by Jeff Francoeur to tie the game, the Braves gave up two home runs in the 11th inning in a 5–3 loss to the Diamondbacks.[40]

Despite a ninth inning home run from Freeman and two players in scoring position, the Braves lost 3–2 in the first of three games against the Phillies.[41] After being recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett, Williams Pérez surrendered one hit in eight innings pitched in a 5–1 victory over the Phillies.[42] Despite a three-run double by Gordon Beckham in the seventh inning, the Braves were unable to capitalize with runners in walk off position in the ninth and fell 7–4 to the Phillies in the 10th.[43]

The Braves opened up a three-game road series with a 5–1 loss to the reigning World Series champion Kansas City Royals.[44] Foltynewicz earned his first win of the season with a 5–0 victory over the Royals.[45] Despite tying the game in the ninth inning, Grilli gave up a two-run walk off home run to Kendrys Morales to fall 4–2 in the 13th inning.[46] Despite home runs from Francoeur and Kelly Johnson, the Braves fell 8–5 to the Pittsburgh Pirates.[47]

González and Tosca dismissed

On May 17, Fredi González was fired from his position as team manager, as was Carlos Tosca from his position as bench coach.[48] Brian Snitker, manager of Triple-A Gwinnett, was promoted to interim manager of the Atlanta Braves.[49] His debut didn't fare too well as, despite a season-high of nine runs, a seven-run deficit in the first inning proved too much to overcome in a 12–9 loss.[50] Tyler Flowers hitting in three of four plate appearances and Julio Teherán surrendering only five hits gave Snitker his first win as an MLB manager in a 3–1 victory over the Pirates.[51] The Braves closed out this four-game road series with an 8–2 loss.[52] Regular shortstop Erick Aybar was removed from the lineup after undergoing a procedure to remove a dislodged chicken bone.[53]

Despite surrendering a run in the first inning, three two-run home runs from Freeman and Markakis gave the Braves a 7–1 victory in the first of three games against the Phillies.[54] Pérez allowed only two hits in 6 1/3 innings pitched to give the Braves their second series victory of the season in a 2–0 win over the Phillies.[55] The Braves were unable to pull off a sweep of the series as they fell 5–0 to the Phillies.[56]

The Braves opened up their next series back home with a 2–1 loss to the Brewers.[57] Despite the loss, Julio Teherán recorded a career-high 12 strikeouts, including four in one inning.[58] The Braves couldn't capitalize on loaded bases in the 12th inning, gave up a run on a single by Jonathan Villar and lost 3–2 in 13 innings.[59] The Braves concluded their three-game series against the Brewers with a 6–2 loss.[60]

Despite surrendering two runs in the third inning, key hits by Freeman and Markakis led to four unanswered runs scored by the Braves in a 4–2 win over the Marlins.[61] The Braves earned their first home series win of the season in a 7-2 victory over the Marlins.[62] The Braves failed to sweep the Marlins for the second time this season in a 7–3 loss to conclude the series.[63]

The Braves opened up their next series with a 5–3 win over the Giants.[64] Wisler put on a solid pitching performance until he allowed three runs in the eighth inning and the Braves fell 4–0.[65]

June

More struggles

Despite trailing 4–1 at a point in the game, Markakis scored the tying run on a wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning, Chris Withrow kept the Braves in the game with his relief performance and Freeman hit a walk-off home run to center-right to beat the Giants 5–4 in the 11th inning.[66] The Braves concluded their home-stand with a 6–0 loss to the Giants after squandering an early scoring opportunity by Chase d'Arnaud and Freeman in the first inning.[67]

Despite opening the game with a two-run lead, the Braves surrendered four home runs, including three to Corey Seager, in a 4–2 loss to the Dodgers.[68] Despite holding Clayton Kershaw to his shortest outing of the season and fewest strikeouts in over two years, the offensive-inept Braves were unable to capitalize and fell 4–0 to the Dodgers.[69] The Braves concluded their series against the Dodgers by giving up multiple home runs in a 12–6 loss.[70]

The Braves opened their next three-game series with Pérez exiting the game due to tricep soreness in the fifth inning and falling 7–2 to the Padres.[71] Despite carrying a one-run lead into the ninth inning, Arodys Vizcaíno blew the save by surrendering a home run and a walk off single in a 4–3 loss.[72] The Braves concluded their series with the Padres with Teherán surrendering just two runs in eight innings. Vizcaíno, who blew the save the night before, earned the save and the Braves won 4–2.[73]

Back home at the Ted after a six-game road trip, Bud Norris pitched seven innings and gave up only four hits and one run as the Braves won 5-1 over the Cubs.[74] The next game in the series saw Anthony Rizzo, who was scratched from the lineup the day before due to back issues, hit his 14th home run of the season as the Braves fell 8-2 to the Cubs.[75] The Braves closed out their three-game series with a 13-2 loss to the Cubs.[76]

Turnaround

Despite a scoring opportunity with bases loaded in the eighth inning, the Braves squandered it, gave up a shallow left hit to Joey Votto with bases loaded and lost 9-8 to the Reds.[77] After a rough first inning for Teherán, the Braves only put up a run in a 3-1 loss to the Reds.[78] After failing to score a walk off with bases loaded in the 11th and giving up two runs in the top of the 13th, a single by d'Arnaud allowed Jace Peterson to score the walk off run and gave the Braves a 9-8 victory.[79] During the game, Freeman doubled in the third, tripled in the fourth, hit a home run in the sixth and singled in the 11th to become only the seventh Braves player to hit for the cycle and first to do so since Mark Kotsay in 2008.[80] The Braves concluded the four-game series with two home runs from Freeman in a 7-2 victory over the Reds.[81]

In the first of a five-game road trip, Braves relief pitcher John Gant pitched six and 2/3 innings and allowed only one run and two hits to earn his first win in Major League Baseball in a 5-1 victory over the Mets.[82] After Inciarte scored the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, relief pitcher Jim Johnson struck out Curtis Granderson to earn his first save of the season and give the Braves the series victory in a 4-3 win over the Mets.[83] Teherán pitched a complete game, gave up only one hit, kept the Mets from putting up a run in a 6-0 win and gave the Braves their longest win streak of the season.[84]

Despite trailing 2-0 going into the eighth inning, Peterson tied the game with a two-run homer and hit the go-ahead RBI single to give the Braves their sixth straight win in a 3-2 victory over the Marlins.[85] The Braves' six-game win streak came to an end in a 3-0 loss to the Marlins.[86]

The Braves opened up their next series at home with a two-run go-ahead homer by Adonis García in the eighth inning to beat the Mets 4-3[87] Despite a six-run rally in the fifth inning, the Braves were unable to overcome the eight-run deficit they found themselves in early in the game and lost 8-6 to the Mets.[88] After a scoreless pitching duel between Jacob deGrom and Teherán and going into extra innings, Kelly Johnson – who was traded from the Braves to the Mets earlier in the month – hit the game-winning home run in the 11th inning to hand the Braves a 1-0 loss.[89] The Braves concluded the four-game series with home runs from Freeman and Garcia and a 5-2 victory over the Mets.[90]

The Braves started their next series with an 8-3 loss to the Indians who came into the game riding a nine-game win streak.[91] Starting pitcher Gant left the game in the third inning due to a left oblique strain.[92] Despite tying the game in the sixth inning, an RBI single by Carlos Santana in the ninth inning led to a three-run rally by the Indians and the Braves fell 5-3.[93] The Braves concluded the series with a 3-0 loss to the Indians who earned their 12th straight victory.[94]

Despite giving up a three-run homer in the second inning, seven unanswered runs and a save by Mauricio Cabrera gave the Braves an 8-5 victory in the first of a four-game series against the Marlins.[95]

July

Despite a game-tying home run in the bottom of the ninth by Tyler Flowers and bases loaded in the 10th and 11th inning, a two-run double by pinch-hitter José Fernández in the 12th inning gave the Marlins a 7-5 victory over the Braves.[96] The next day proved rough for Fernández as he surrendered eight hits, six runs and a walk in five and 2/3rd's innings pitched as the Braves beat the Marlins 9-1.[97]

Fort Bragg game

The Braves concluded their four-game series against the Marlins with a 5-2 loss in the first ever Major League Baseball game played at a United States military instillation in Fort Bragg.[98]

The Braves opened their next series by surrendering seven runs in the second inning in an 8-2 loss to the Phillies.[99] Foltynewicz gave up four homers in six innings pitched in a 5-1 loss to the Phillies.[100] Despite carrying a one-run lead into the eighth inning, a two-run homer by Freddy Galvis gave a 4-3 victory to the Phillies.[101]

In a makeup game postponed from April 30 due to rain, Markakis hit two home runs - including the game-tying home run in the ninth – and Flowers hit a two-out single in the 11th inning to give the Braves a 4-3 victory over the Cubs.[102]

The Braves put on their best offensive output of the season to date with 15 hits, eight of which came in the fifth inning alone, 11 runs – four of which also came in the fifth inning – and three home runs from Flowers, Freeman and Markakis to beat the White Sox 11-8 in the first of a three-game series.[103] Three home runs weren't enough to overcome a five-run deficit as the Braves fell 5-4 to the White Sox in the second game of the series.[104] The Braves concluded the series with Foltynewicz allowing five hits, no runs and two homers scored by Francoeur and Peterson to beat the White Sox 2-0.[105]
