Missed chances cost Braves in 5-1 loss to Cubs

CHICAGO — Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez wasn't around to see the final two innings from the dugout after being ejected in the seventh inning Monday night. He wasn't sure after a 5-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs why he got tossed, but he did know that his team missed some big scoring chances in the latter stages of the game. In the top of the seventh, Atlanta threatened with one out when effective Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija hit Jason Heyward, who'd homered for the Braves' only run in the second.
