PHOENIX — Freddie Freeman homered for the second straight game and Andrelton Simmons had three hits to help the Atlanta Braves to an 8-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night. Freeman’s two-run blast came in the fifth inning with Simmons on base, and Freeman also drove in a run with a sixth-inning single. Simmons extended his hitting streak to 10 games, and the runs were more than enough for Alex Wood (4-2), who held the Diamondbacks to a run on seven hits in eight innings.
