Braves' Jenkins delivers epic interview after 1st win
It took more than a month, but Atlanta Braves rookie right-hander Tyrell Jenkins finally earned the first win of his major-league career Friday when he pitched six scoreless innings of four-hit ball to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies.
After earning the victory, Jenkins participated in a pretty amazing interview, where he discussed what he was doing during a brow-wiping ninth inning where Braves interim closer Jim Johnson nearly blew the team's lead, and what he was most looking forward to doing after earning the win.
