Toussaint, who missed the first 3 1/2 months rehabbing a right shoulder strain, retired the first seven batters he faced before walking Victor Caratini in the third. He didn’t allow a hit until Manny Machado doubled with one out in the fourth.

ATLANTA With their recent acquisition of Stephen Vogt, the Braves may have finally found somebody capable of bringing value to the catching position until Travis d Arnaud returns.
Vogt was acquired from the D-backs late Friday night. The 36-year-old veteran then made the cross-country trip to Atlanta on Saturday and notched his first three-hit game of the season when he made his Braves debut in Sunday’s loss to the Rays.
“As a kid who grew up in the 90s watching [the Braves] on TBS, getting to put this uniform on is very special for me,” Vogt said. “But more importantly, just to join a team that s trying to win and a team that s making a push right now is really exciting for me.”
