Braves Beat Nationals

The Braves have won an amazing two games in a row! After the tough times during last week, this has to be a confidence booster.

-Buddy Carlyle had a nice outing tonight. He gave up 5 hits, 1 earned run in 7 innings and had 6 strikeouts to go with it.

-Yunel Escobar filled in for Kelly Johnson, going 2-5. Alright, at least this time benching Kelly makes some sense. Kelly is having a bit of a slump.

-Is Brian McCann getting things going? 2-3 with a homerun last night and 3-4 tonight. Hopefully this is the beginning of a hot streak.

-What else can I say about Salty? He continues to impress me by smacking 2 homeruns tonight. I really hope the Braves can manage to make important trades and keep this guy. I don't care what it takes, FIND A SPOT FOR HIM.

-Andruw Jones actually contributed to the team. How? A 3 run homerun in the 5th that is. Of course it was his only hit of the night.

With Smoltz on the mound tomorrow night, the Braves should end the series with a sweep.
