Some surprises, and others, not so much

The Braves jumped on the Giants early and came away with an 11-5 victory last night. Mike Hampton had his second quality start in the last three games pitching 6 innings and giving up 2 runs. Jeff Francoeur had 4 hits and 2 RBI. Nine different players had RBI and ten players had a hit in the game. Game 3 of the series is at 135p this afternoon. Charlie Morton will pitch for the Braves and Tim Lincecum will pitch for the Giants.

The Olympics did not have many surprises last night. Micheal Phelps won his eighth gold medal of these Olympics, breaking the record held by Mark Spitz since 1972. The US softball team has now won 20 straight in the Olympic games. They are 6-0 in these Olympics and have outscored their opponents 44-1. Rafael Nadal proved why he is the number one tennis player in the world by winning the gold medal in tennis.
