Braves Pull Off A Win VS. Cardinals

Who would of thought that it was Brooks Conrad that got the game winning hit today? In the bottom of the ninth, he got a hit that scored Alex Gonzalez, winning the game 6-5. Finally, some kind of clutch performance.

- Derek Lowe started the game off allowing three quick earned runs. I'm glad I wasn't one to witness this. He's been pitching rather poorly lately. He went five innings giving up six hits, four earned runs, walking two and striking out five.

- The bullpen did alright. They allowed only one run in four innings. Linebrink and Sherrill pitched without giving up any runs. Cory Gearrin gave up a run in the 8th. Perhaps he isn't as good as I thought.

- Like usual, not a whole lot happened offensively.

- Alex Gonzalez was 1-4 with two runs. A very important home run and two RBI as well.

- Brooks Conrad had the game winning hit as a pinch hitter. About time he contributed positively.

* Nice to start the new month with a win. Time to put this bad week and month behind them and start winning some games.

The Braves begin another four game series vs. the Milwaukee Brewers tomorrow. Jair Jurrjens will be on the mound. The Braves will have to try and score runs off of Yovani Gallardo, who shut them out earlier in the year. However, Gallardo has been pitching poorly lately. If I had to make any bets, Gallardo will rebound, throwing another masterpiece while Jurrjens gets shelled.
