The Braves pitching staff did a great job in the three game series with the Padres, giving up only 8 runs over the 3 games. In my previous post, I discussed the 4-0 loss on Friday night. On Saturday, the Braves won 4-1. Charlie Morton gave up the 1 run in 5 1/3 innings to get the win. Will Ohman, Blaine Boyer, and Mike Gonzalez held the Padres in check the rest of the way. Chipper Jones had 3 hits, and Jeff Francoeur had 2 hits and 2 RBI. Brent Lillibridge had 2 hits and his first career home run. On Sunday, the Braves scored 3 runs in the top of the first and cruised to a 12-3 victory. Jorge Campillo gave up two runs over 6 innings to get the win. Blaine Boyer, Tim Hudson (yes, Tim Hudson), and Mike Gonzalez finished the game from the bullpen. Brian McCann was 3 for 3 with 3 runs scored and 3 RBI. Brent Lillibridge had 3 hits, while Martin Prado, Mark Teixeira, and Mark Kotsay each had 2 hits. The Braves are off for the next four days as they get three days off for the All-Star break and have Thursday off before hosting Washington on Friday, July 18. The Braves are 6.5 GB the Phillies in the NL East and 7.5 GB the Cardinals for the NL Wild Card.
