Braves Win Double Header

Another a day late. I've taken interest in other things rather than posting lately. The Braves game was rained out on Tuesday, so they had to make the game up forcing a double header for Wednesday. Since the Braves won both games in the double header Wednesday, I have to write about it. The Braves have been very successful in double headers this year so far. They won two vs. the Mets earlier in the season.

Game One

Braves 8, Brewers 3

- Tommy Hanson keeps on going. He went six innings, giving up three hits, two earned runs, walking two and striking out seven.

- Eric O'Flaherty pitched a scoreless inning allowing one hit and striking out one.

- Good thing the Braves had a pretty good sized lead. Scott Linebrink came in and gave up a run in usual fashion. Of course, the big lead is the only reason Linebrink was allowed to come into the game.

- Cory Gearrin finished the game with a scoreless inning allowing one hit and striking out one.

- Martin Prado is looking good lately. He was 3-5 with three RBI and two runs.

- Rookie Freddie Freeman was 2-4.

- Nate McLouth has been doing excellent since being moved to 8th spot of the lineup. He was 3-3 with a walk and two runs.

Game Two

Braves 8, Brewers 0

- If the first game wasn't good enough for you. Perhaps this one was.

- Tim Hudson was awesome. He pitched a complete game shut out. He only allowed one hit, walked one and struck out six batters.

- Braves put runs on the board with out Chipper and McCann.

- Dan Uggla seems to be hitting a little more these last few games. He was 3-4 with a walk, run and an RBI.

- The certainly shouldn't be any concerns when Ross is starting in place of McCann. Ross was 2-5 with a run.

- Nice to see Eric Hinske start hitting. This is exactly why we resigned the guy. Good hitter off the bench. He was 1-3 with a run and two RBI.

- How about Nate McLouth? Is this Pittsburgh Nate we been waiting for? I hope so...with the common number being two, he was 2-2 with two walks, two RBI, and two runs. One of the hits was a home run.

* As I was writing this article, the Braves finished the game tonight (Thursday) completing a four game sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers!
