Miscues Doom Braves In Spring Finale

WHITE SOX 12, BRAVES 4

W - John Danks (2-1)
L - Tim Hudson (3-2)
HR - Brent Clevlen (1)

THE GOOD: The Braves had four scoreless innings out of the pen and Brooks Conrad had two hits, including an RBI triple in the sixth. J. C. Boscan also had two hits. Brent Clevlen had a solo shot in the ninth.

THE BAD: Just about everything else. Tim Hudson was victimized for five runs in four innings, but only one was earned. The next inning, Jo-Jo Reyes gave up seven runs; five of those runs were earned. The Braves committed five errors in the game.

That's it for spring training! The Braves open the 2010 season at 4:00 on Monday as they take on the Chicago Cubs.

Offense Flat Again, White Sox Win

WHITE SOX 7, BRAVES 2

W - Gavin Floyd (1-0)
L - Tommy Hanson (1-1)

THE GOOD: Tommy Hanson had a great outing, only giving up a first inning run. He allowed just three hits and struck out four batters in four innings. Troy Glaus drove in the Braves' first run and Eric Hinske had two hits.

THE BAD: Nate McLouth was scratched with a hamstring strain; it could be questionable whether he's ready for Opening Day. Kris Medlen coughed up three runs in his two innings of work and Billy Wagner allowed two runs in the ninth. Juan Pierre torched the Braves for three singles and two stolen bases.

UP NEXT: The Braves have another game against the White Sox tomorrow. Tim Hudson will start the game for the Braves.
