Braves Baseball Blog: Braves Complete Four Game Sweep of Brewers

A little pay back for the rough series earlier in the season I suppose. This is how the Braves are supposed to be playing.

Braves 2, Brewers 1

- You couldn't ask for a better number five starter. Brandon Beachy went six innings, giving up four hits, one run (which wasn't earned) walking one and striking out nine batters.

- The best part of the bullpen pitched tonight to finish the game.

O'Flaherty - 1 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 SO
Venters - 1 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 SO
Kimbrel - 1 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 SO (Save, 7)

- Total is three innings pitched two hits, and six strike outs.

- The Braves had a tough pitcher tonight, so I wasn't expecting many runs to score.

- Martin Prado had the tie breaking home run. He was 2-4 with an RBI and a Run.

- Chipper Jones was 2-4

- Eric Hinske starting in place of Freddie Freeman, was 2-4 with a home run.

- The Braves did get a break as they committed two errors this game. One error led to a run to score in the 5th. Good thing that's all that happened.

* The coming series will be a good test to see what the Braves are made of. They travel to hostile territory in Philadelphia. The Phillies are off to a great start (21-9). They have a top starter in four spots of their rotation and a 5th starter (Blanton on DL) who has done very well.

*The Phillies have had a fairly easy schedule so far and have played three less games than the Braves.

*I'll take one win but the Braves need to take two here, especially in Philadelphia. The Braves will play the Phillies again a week later in Atlanta. Who makes these schedules?
