Braves 0, Marlins 4

Recap: The Braves were blanked by the Marlins on Tuesday by a resurgent Scott Olsen in their 4-0 loss. Olsen struggled in 2007 and was marked by horrible press including a minor run-in with the popo that resulted in him being tasered, but the left-hander has gotten back on track in this early season including his spectacular performance on Tuesday where he gave up only five hits in seven innings. Jair Jurrjens pitched well for the Braves allowing only two runs in six innings, but the Braves failed to give him any run support which resulted in another loss for Atlanta.
WP: Scott Olsen (2-0) LP: Jair Jurrjens (1-2)

News & Notes: The Braves don't expect to put Tom Glavine on the DL...Sad news, former Boston Braves outfielder Tommy Holmes died at the age of 91.

It's been fun blogging with you,
