Braves Report

Thursday night marked the conclusion of the Braves’ series against the Phillies, and it also marked their second series loss of the season. Let’s go.

Lowe started this game and was less than spectacular. In 5 innings of work, he gave up 6 hits, 5 runs (4 earned), walked 2, and struck out 3. Not his best performance of the season. Medlen relieved him for a third of an inning, giving up a run. O’Flaherty followed, finishing the inning without letting any more damage occur. Moylan pitched the next inning, giving up 2 runs. Finally, Chavez pitched the last 2 innings, only giving up a hit. Not a great performance from the pitching staff.

Still, it did not really matter, because the offense only provided 3 runs on 9 hits. These runs all came in the form of outs from Diaz, Prado, and McCann. Not their best performances of the year as the Braves’ offense was held in check by Jamie Moyer.

Braves lose, 8-3.
