Mets 9, Braves 4
Or if only Bobby Cox could have taken out Lowe sooner, maybe then the Braves wouldn’t have suffered an embarrassing 9-4 loss to the Mets. New York set a franchise record by collecting 10 hits in what amounted to an eight run fourth inning that knocked out Braves starter Derek Lowe early. To put things in perspective, former Brave Gary Sheffield had two doubles in that one inning.
Atlanta had gotten off to a good start with homeruns by Matt Diaz and Adam LaRoche that gave them a 4-0 advantage. But Lowe was unable to hold onto the lead sending him to his worst start since joining the Braves.
Through the clouds there is always sunshine and a bright spot for Atlanta had to have been Kris Medlen who went two and a third innings without allowing a run while striking out five.
News&Notes: Martin Prado lasted only half an inning before leaving with a sudden headache. It looks like he's not getting any better and the 95 degree muggy humid weather in New York probably isn’t helping…The Braves trip to Citi Field is a homecoming for newly called up Reid Gorecki who is from Lynbrook, NY…Mets right fielder Jeff Francoeur caught up with his old teammates before Tuesday’s game.
