Braves Report

The Braves are on a winning streak, and that makes me happy. Once again, Friday night kicked off a series against the Rockies that shows that this team has some potential. Let’s go.

Lowe started this game and was decent. He lasted 5 and 1/3rd innings, while giving up 7 hits, 4 runs (3 earned), 2 walks, and 5 strikeouts. Overall, not bad. O’Flaherty relieved him and gave up a run. Medlen pitched the last 2 innings, while striking out 3. A strong effort from the pitching staff.

The story of the night really was the offense, with no one person really dominating. David Ross, Nate McLouth, Eric Hinske, Yunel Escobar, and Melky Cabrera all drove in runs. Chipper also hit his second homer of the year. Nearly everybody contributed, that’s what I like to see.

Braves win, 9-5.
