The Braves lost to the Giants Sunday afternoon, 3-1. Charlie Morton pitched 6 innings only giving up 3 runs. It was his 3rd quality start in his last four games, but the Braves are 1-3 in those games. It's OK to not hit when you are facing the ace of the staff, as Atlanta did on Sunday, however it is not OK when the team can't hit the fourth or fifth starter on the opponent's staff. Game four of the series is at 435p today. Jorge Campillo will pitch for the Braves and Barry Zito will pitch for the Giants. The Braves are 12 games out of the NL East lead and 14.5 games out of the wild card spot.
Best pitching of the day: Roy Oswalt, Astros - 8 IP, 1 H, 10 K
Worst pitching: Brian Bannister, Royals - 1 IP, 10 H, 10 ER
Best Hitting: Melvin Mora, Orioles - 5 for 6, 4 R, 6 RBI, 2 HR, 2 2B
Worst Hitting: Delmon Young, Twins - 0 for 5, K, GIDP
