Newcomb entered the ninth inning at 117 pitches. He had walked just one batter. After giving up the single to Taylor, Newbomb was removed from the game by manager Brian Snitker at 134 pitches, a career-high.
Newcomb was bidding to become the first Braves pitcher to throw a no-hitter since Kent Mercker in 1994.
Dan Winkler relieved Newcomb, allowed a hit to Manny Machado and then got Matt Kemp to ground out to end the game.
