Braves 5, Marlins 6

Recap: Early into this season, a few reoccurring themes seem to be emerging for the Braves. Wednesday’s 6-5 loss to the Marlins summed them up with Tim Hudson’s mysteriously lost velocity and early exit, the Braves 8th inning rally that fell short and their seventh one run loss. Currently, the Braves are not implying Hudson’s 58 pitch performance was due to an injury per say but rather the affect of a “dead arm.” In any event, Hudson was only able to complete 3 innings before being pulled while his Marlin’s counterpart Mark Hendrickson went five and one thirds innings giving up three runs including a two run shot by Yunel Escobar. The difference maker came in the seventh inning when Luis Gonzalez knocked a two run homer off of Braves reliever Jeff Bennett.
