<p>The Atlanta Braves have been held scoreless for 20 consecutive innings and suffered back-to-back shutouts for the first time since 2009 as they fell to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.camdenchat.com/">Baltimore Orioles</a> 2-0 in Sunday's series finale. </p>
<p><span>Randall Delgado</span> deserved a better fate as he drops to 4-7 after allowing three hits and two runs in eight innings of work. The first run came on a <span>Mark Reynolds</span> sacrifice fly in the second inning and the final run was balked home by Delgado in the sixth. </p>
<p>Wei-Yen Chen picks up the win for the Orioles allowing six hits and no runs in seven innings. <span>Jim Johnson</span> picked up his 20th save of the season with a perfect ninth. </p>
<p><span>Andrelton Simmons</span> went 2 for 3 and had a dazzling play in the field but it was a forgettable day for the Braves offensively. Atlanta outhit Baltimore 7 to 4 but grounded into three double plays. <span>Adam Jones</span> went 2 for 3 for the Orioles and was robbed of his third hit by Simmons in the fourth. </p>
<p>Atlanta opens a three-game set with the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.pinstripealley.com/">Yankees</a> in New York on Monday. </p>

<p>It was known coming out of spring training that <span>Andrelton Simmons</span> would be an excellent defensive shortstop at the major league level. He <a href="http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=22364337&c_id=atl">put some of those skills on display</a> during the fourth inning of Sunday's matchup against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.camdenchat.com/">Baltimore Orioles</a>.</p>

<p><span>Brandon Beachy's</span> injury has provided at least one more opportunity for <span>Jair Jurrjens</span>. Atlanta will call up Jurrjens on Thursday and he will start in place of Beachy Friday night at Fenway Park when the Braves open a three-game set with the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.overthemonster.com/">Boston Red Sox</a>. </p>

<p>Atlanta placed Beachy on the disabled list on Sunday and called up <span>Todd Redmond</span> to provide some depth in the bullpen in the meantime. It appears that <span>Kris Medlen</span> will remain in the bullpen despite being sent down to Gwinnett for two weeks to be stretched out as a starter. </p>
<p>Jurrjens hasn't exactly dominated at the Triple-A level and has been anything but consistent. In nine appearances with Gwinnett Jurrjens is 3-4 with a 5.27 ERA. He was 0-2 with a 9.37 ERA in four starts for the Braves before his demotion. </p>
<p>Jurrjens also gets the nod ahead of top prospect <span>Julio Teheran</span> who made a spot start in place of <span>Tim Hudson</span> for the Braves last week. </p>

<p>Like <span>Brandon Beachy</span>, O'Flaherty experienced some elbow soreness after a recent outing and the Braves shut him down for pretty much all of last week. He was originally scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Friday but was still experiencing soreness during the off day on Thursday. The team elected to move the bullpen session to Saturday to give him one more full day of rest. </p>
<p>O'Flaherty threw about 25 pitches in the session and reported no problems and could be available if needed on Sunday. </p>

<p>Beachy had his start pushed back to Saturday after he experienced some elbow soreness. He lasted just 3 2/3 innings Saturday against the <a href="https://www.camdenchat.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Orioles</a> and will have an MRI on the elbow to evaluate the injury.</p>
<p>Redmond is 6-4 in 13 starts at Gwinnett with a 3.20 ERA with 67 strikeouts and just 19 walks. He allowed four hits in a complete game victory his last time out on June 15.</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.talkingchop.com/">Atlanta Braves</a> will look for some offense after being one-hit by the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.camdenchat.com/">Orioles</a>' <span>Jason Hammel</span> on Saturday as the two teams close out a three-game set Sunday afternoon at Turner Field. </p>
<p>A <span>Jason Heyward</span> single in the seventh is the only thing that stood between Hammel and a no hitter. The Braves hope to have more success on Sunday against Baltimore starter Wie-Yin Chen. Chen is 6-2 on the season with a 3.68 ERA and picked up a win in his last start allowing four runs in 6+ innings of work against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bucsdugout.com/">Pirates</a>. </p>
<p>Atlanta will hand the ball to <span>Randall Delgado</span> on Sunday as they look for a much needed series victory. Delgado is 4-6 with a 4.34 ERA this season. Delgado allowed three runs in five innings last time out against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.pinstripealley.com/">New York Yankees</a>. </p>
