Braves Train To Beat The Bucs

BRAVES 4, PIRATES 2

W - Jo-Jo Reyes (1-0)
L - Brian Burres (0-1)
S - Erik Cordier (1)
HR - Andy LaRoche (1)

Kenshin Kawakami continued the streak of Braves starters allowing no runs as Atlanta edged Pittsburgh 4-2.

THE GOOD: Kawakami and James Parr pitched two scoreless innings apiece. Brooks Conrad was the offensive star; he hit two doubles, drove two runners in, walked and stole a base. Brian McCann doubled and walked twice. Designated hitter Eric Hinske went 0-2, but he walked once and scored two runs.

THE BAD: Matt Diaz went 0-3 with two strikeouts and Jason Heyward had his first 0-fer of the spring.

UP NEXT: The Braves are playing the Washington Nationals right now.

EDIT: Moved the icons to the right of the post.
