PITTSBURGH — The Atlanta Braves have hit their first rough stretch of the season. Slumping Clint Barmes had a pair of run-scoring singles for his first two RBIs of the season, including a tiebreaking hit in the sixth inning Sunday that led the Pittsburgh Pirates over Atlanta 4-2 for their third straight win over the Braves. "We're just not capitalizing on our opportunities offensively," Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said.
