I think that's the warmest it's been up here for the entire year. It was good to see that the bats were just as hot, especially when we're not used to seeing this team get a hit until the 7th inning. Very solid win. A great start on a great day. I think that’s the warmest it’s been up here for the entire year.

He got the big outs (Howard, Ibanez) when he had to. Lowe was superb. Totally in control. Pitching like an ace, totally locking down a good-hitting team in a hitter's park. THIS is what dominant starting pitching looks like. And who says the Braves don't have power? Sure, they're not going to hit three home runs every night. But they got Lowe an early lead and took the Philly faithful out of it. That ball by McCann was blistered. Good swing on Francoeur's homer, and quite a debut by Schafer. A great start.
