The season is rapidly wrapping up, which should lead to a bit more free time for me. Less games to watch, but I have gotten out of the habit and I get a respite from writing the recaps. I was rather hoping the Braves would put something together in the closing days, but I am beginning to lose that optimism.
Jurrjens gave us a good outing last night, quite good. He went seven strong innings of five hit ball allowing only two runs to cross the plate. Unfortunately the pen wasn’t quite so good. Bennett was only able to get a single out and had three runs charged to him. Of course, none of the runs were earned, a couple didn’t even cross when he was in the Game. Ohman got an out while Tavarez gave up a home run.
Not much going on behind the plate. KJ and Lillbridge each had two hits. KJ drove in two runs.
Brave lose 2 - 6.
