The Atlanta Braves’ Chris Johnson, left, scores past Toronto Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin on a hit by Andrelton Simmons during fifth inning Friday in Toronto.
TORONTO — While Jonny Gomes is waiting for a pinch-hitting opportunity, he's never going to be forgotten about. He moves too much and makes too much noise to ever be overlooked. Gomes had a pinch-hit, tiebreaking home run in the eighth inning, Freddie Freeman added a two-run shot and the Atlanta Braves beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-7 on Friday night Freeman said Gomes is hard to ignore in the Atlanta dugout.
