A.J. Pierzynski’s single in the ninth inning drove in Andrelton Simmons from third, and the Atlanta Braves, led by Julio Teheran’s bid for a perfect game, beat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 on Sunday. Teheran had a perfect game through six innings before giving up a single to Freddy Galvis to lead off the seventh. With one out in the ninth, Simmons reached on an infield hit against Luis Garcia (3-6) and advanced to second on third baseman Cody Asche’s errant throw to first.
