Brandon Drury was essentially a throw-in portion of the package that brought Justin Upton from Arizona to Atlanta before the 2013 season. But the D-backs have certainly come to realize the tremendous potential possessed by Drury, who delivered a decisive sixth-inning double in Saturday’s 4-2 win over the Braves at Turner Field.
Drury’s RBI double off Bud Norris enabled Shelby Miller to notch his first win since the D-backs acquired him via the blockbuster trade completed with the Braves in December. Miller halted his early-season woes while limiting his former team to two runs and four hits over six innings.
Freddie Freeman drilled a two-out, solo homer in the first inning and the Braves provided Julio Teheran another run of support in the second inning. But Erick Aybar’s error helped the D-backs complete a game-tying two-run second inning against Teheran, who surrendered one earned run over five innings but was not nearly as sharp in this 101-pitch effort as he had been in his past two outings. The Braves have now lost 14 of their first 15 home games.
