Braves 9, Diamondbacks 4
Atlanta dominated a make-up game with the Diamondbacks Monday, scoring six unearned runs in the third inning on their way to a 9-4 victory. After giving up a solo homerun to Garrett Anderson in the second inning, Arizona pitch Max Scherzer unloaded two hit batsman (Matt Diaz and Yunel Escobar), a bases loaded walk to Adam LaRoche and then a three run double to Ryan Church in the third. Sherzer lasted another two innings before getting the ax after giving up a two run homer to LaRoche. The start was a far cry from his May 16th start at Turner Field where he pitched six scoreless innings.
The day decidedly belonged to another young pitcher, the Braves Tommy Hanson, who picked up his third consecutive victory after going six innings, allowing two runs and striking out seven.
News&Notes: Martin Prado missed Monday’s game…Long Island native Reid Gorecki had a great Monday…Congrats to Jason Heyward who was named the Southern League’s player of the month.
