The Braves lost again last night to the Mets, 5-4. Mike Hampton pitched 6 innings and gave up 3 runs. Jeff Bennett was credited with a hold although the tying run was charged to him after Will Ohman blew the save. Julian Tavarez was solid over 1-1/3 innings and Vladimir Nunez gave up the winning run in the bottom of the ninth. The offense was OK. Yunel Escobar and Brian McCann each had three hits and McCann had 2 RBI. With another loss, the Braves should start playing the youngsters (more than they have already) and look towards next year. They travel to St Louis to face the Cardinals tonight at 815p. Charlie Morton will pitch for the Braves and Adam Wainwright (a former Brave) will pitch for the Cardinals.
In the Olympics, both beach volleyball teams won gold medals. In indoor volleyball, both teams are in the gold medal games. The baseball team was crushed by Cuba in the semi-finals. The men's basketball team plays Argentina in the semi-finals. The women's basketball team is in the gold medal game.
