The Atlanta Braves scored four runs on nine hits in yesterday’s 4-1 Grapefruit League victory (boxscore) against Cleveland. But, the Braves bats weren’t the biggest story of the day. Seven Atlanta pitchers combined to throw a one-hitter; only relinquishing their no-hit bid with two outs in the 9th inning.
Newly acquired right-hander Jair Jurrjens, competing for the fifth rotation spot, looked sharp in three perfect innings against his former American League Central foes. Right-handers Jeff Bennett and Jairo Cuevas and left-handers Jeff Ridgway, Royce Ring, Francisley Bueno kept the no-no going until Colter Bean gave up a hit with two outs in the ninth.

In regards to Colter Bean giving up the no-hit bid, I would like to apologize on behalf of the Auburn Family. Colter won’t let it happen again.
