Braves pitcher Julio Teheran hit San Diego's Matt Kemp with a pitch, prompting both benches and bullpens to clear in the first inning. Kemp, the third batter of Thursday's game, was his on his left shoulder by a 90 mph fastball, slammed down his bat, stared at the pitcher and slowly walked up the first base line. With Braves catcher Christian Bethancourt and plate umpire Jordan Baker walking between him and Teheran, Kemp exchanged words with the pitcher as players and coaches jogged out of the dugouts.
