Braves 6, Padres, 2
Tommy Hanson may not have been his usual dominant self, but his teammates were more than willing to help him out, completing four double plays on defense and adding 14 singles on offense in the Braves 6-2 win over the Padres.
Hanson allowed two runs – a two run dinger by Will Veneable in the sixth – while striking out five for his sixth victory this season. The win was that much sweeter considering he did it in front of about 100 friends and family at PETCO Park that made the trip from his hometown of Redlands, CA.
Brian McCann had a two run single in Atlanta’s three run fourth.
News&Notes: Matt Diaz grounded into three double plays and added a homerun in the Braves 9-2 romp over San Diego on Tuesday…Ryan Church returned to the lineup for the first time in six games on Wednesday. Church had been suffering from a sore elbow…The Braves settled a dispute with Hartford Life Insurance Co. over Mike Hampton’s 2008 contract…Derek Lowe will pitch in LA for the first time in a Braves uniform on Thursday…Adam LaRoche has been off to a hot start since coming over to the Braves…Speaking of LaRoche, he’s featuered in this cbssports.com article…Buster Olney's Blog features Jason Heyward this week.(Warning you need to be an ESPN insider to read the entire post.)
Reminder: I am heading to the Bronx tonight to catch the Yankees and Red Sox. John Smoltz is scheduled to take the mound for the Sox so I’ll add photos and musings tomorrow!
