The D-Train pitched 8 strong giving up only 1 run
Marlins 2, Braves 1

• Dontrelle was being hit just getting great defense
• Cody Ross made several diving plays in center
• Mark Redman showed improvement, gave up only 2 runs, changeup was working superbly
• Miguel Cabrera hit a home run in the first, followed up by a homerun by Craig Monroe in the 2nd
• Tankersley came in to close the door in the 9th, taking away Dontrelle's complete game hopes
• Joe Kim came up from Richmond to give Granderson a day off, went 0-3. Granderson got a pinch-hit single and a stolen base, now 8-9 in 3 appearences with Atlanta

Chuck James, Jerome Williams Pitch Incredible
James gave up 3 hits, Williams only 2

Chucky had the stuff but his offense sputtered
Nationals 1, Braves 0 F - 10

• Williams perfect through 6.1
• Braves get 2 hits, Nats get 4
• Squeeze play in the 10th is the difference
• Braves offense totally out of sync
• Braves go 1-1 in this days doubleheader
• Now we head home for a 2-game set against the Cubs

Wickman Almost Blows Another Save, Squeaks By
Braves win a late innings scare

Are Bob Wickman's days as the Braves closer coming to an end?
Braves 6, Cubs 5

• Hampton pitched 7 innings giving up 1 run before handing the game to the pen
• Braves get 12 hits, Cubs get 11
• Cubs score 2 in the 8th on a Soriano HR off of Soriano, score 2 more in the 9th on a double by Matt Murton
• Last pitch by Wickman was hung, but Blanco flew out to left field
• Soriano is probably the most feared hitter on this game to me, he hits everything hard to the outfield
• McCann belted a 2 run HR
