Braves Sweep Brew Crew To Finish Road Trip; Take Two of Three From Snakes

Call it lazy if you must, but I need to play a little catch-up.

ATLANTA 8, MILWAUKEE 2

ATLANTA 11, MILWAUKEE 3

ATLANTA 9, MILWAUKEE 2

Each of these games were eerily similar:


  • Each game featured good starting pitching on both sides.

  • All three games featured just enough offense to give Atlanta the lead by the time Ken Macha brought in his relievers.

  • Milwaukee's bullpen was pounded for a bunch of runs in all three games.

  • ATLANTA 6, ARIZONA 5

    The Braves came back from a 4-0 deficit to tie the game with a Brian McCann solo homer in the seventh and Nate McLouth's three-run shot in the eighth. Nate's home run prevented Braves starter Kenshin Kawakami from losing his seventh game in seven starts. Arizona took the lead off of Billy Wagner in a non-save situation, but Atlanta won the game with a bases-loaded single by Martin Prado.

    ARIZONA 11, ATLANTA 1

    Tommy Hanson was smacked around in the fifth inning for four of the face runs he allowed, but he went seven innings. Arizona hung a five-spot on mop-up reliever Jesse Chavez, including a solo home run by Kelly Johnson, his 11th Rodrigo Lopez went eight for the D-Backs, who got to avoid using their terrible bullpen for most of the game.

    ATLANTA 13, ARIZONA 1

    The Braves delivered their own smackdown on the Diamondbacks by peppering them with four home runs, two by Martin Prado and one each for Eric Hinske and Troy Glaus. The Braves had 14 hits in total, four by Prado and three by Glaus. Tim Hudson pitched eight innings of three-hit ball, allowing just one run.
