Braves Win Both Double Header Games

After a Friday night washout, the Braves played a double header Saturday winning both games vs. the NY Mets.

First Game

Mets 2, Braves 4

- Derek Lowe pitched another solid game. Six innings, five hits, two earned runs, two walks and two strike outs. Good enough for the win.

- The bullpen pitched three scoreless innings. Craig Kimbrel got the save, his fourth of the season.

- The Braves offense hit four home runs total. Unfortunately they were all solo shots. Chipper Jones had one, Freddie freeman had his first of the year and Alex Gonzalez had himself two.

- Freeman has himself a nine game hitting streak.

Second Game

Mets 0, Braves 4

- Jair Jurrjens got his first start of the season after getting of the DL with an oblique strain. This had to be a very big confidence booster for him as he pitched seven scoreless innings and got the win. This is exactly what the team needs. He allowed two hits, walked two and struck out two in those seven innings.

- George Sherrill and Scott Linebrink looked awesome for a change. Both pitched the eighth and ninth innings without giving up any runs. Sherrill allowed no base runners and struck out two. Linebrink also kept the bases empty and struck out the side.

- Prado was 2-4 with two runs.

- Chipper was 2-3 with a walk, run, and one RBI.

- Eric Hinske had a good game filling in for Freeman. He was 3-4 with an RBI.
