The Braves took 2 of 3 games from the Anaheim Angels over the weekend. Atlanta won 5-2 on Friday night. Jo Jo Reyes threw 8 innings of two-run ball and Jeff Bennett threw a scoreless ninth for the save. Mark Teixeira and Gregor Blanco had 3 hits a piece and Blanco had 3 RBI. On Saturday, Charlie Morton made his major league debut on the mound and got the win pitching 6 inning and giving up 3 runs as the Braves won 9-4. The bullpen threw three scoreless innings. Brandon Jones had 3 hits for the Braves. Sunday night was a very good game. The Braves lost 2-0. Jorge Campillo threw a complete game, only giving up a two-run homer to Casey Kotchman to account for the only runs of the game. Yunel Escobar led the offense with two hits. The Braves are now 4-2 against the AL West this year, taking two of three from both Oakland and Anaheim. Atlanta plays Colorado tonight in a make-up game before traveling to Texas to play the Rangers in a three-game series.
It was a bad weekend for the higher seeds in the College World Series. #4 Florida State, #1 Miami, and #6 Rice were all beaten in their first round games. The only higher seed to win was #2 North Carolina over #7 LSU. Florida State and Miami play an elimination game today at 2pm. Miami beat FSU two out of three games earlier this season. Stanford and Georgia play in a winners bracket game at 7pm. I'll pick Miami and Stanford to win the games today.
