Braves 8, Marlins 6
Derek Lowe had one of his more shaky outings for the Braves, giving up six runs in five innings, but luckily for Lowe, the bats were out in full effect to give Lowe his fourth victory of the season. Garret Anderson, who I wrongfully requested to go back to the DL yesterday, knocked in three runs in the victory. I would love to think that my words were enough of a kick in his ass, but I rightfully assume that is not the case.
Anderson got the ball rolling in the first inning, driving in a run with a ground out before providing a two run single an inning later which put the Braves ahead, 5-3. Omar Infante and Chipper Jones each added two RBIs on the night to put the Braves ahead 8-3 before the Marlins rallied with runs in the third and fifth inning. But Atlanta’s relieving core of Buddy Carlyle, Peter Moylan, Rafael Soriano and Mike Gonzalez cuffed the Marlins to allow the Bravos to hold onto the 8-6 win. Jorge Cantu tied a career high with five RBIs in the losing effort.

News&Notes: Jordan Schafer is suffering from more than just a little wrist pain, he’s really suffering from a case of the strike-out woes…Jorge Campillo is inching towards a return…If you’ve been to a game or watched one on TV you can’t help but notice all of the empty seats at Turner Field. Those empty seats amount to the fourth largest drop in attendance in Major League Baseball…John Smoltz already has plans for life after baseball and they involve a lot of golf.
