Carlyle threw 3 innings of shutout ball and Jeff Bennett threw 2 more innings without giving up a run. The Braves scored 1 run in the 8th and 1 run in the ninth off of NL saves leader Jose Valverde, but could not hold on as Julian Tavarez gave up the home run to Erstad. Josh Anderson had 3 hits for the Braves and Brian McCann added two more hits. Casey Kotchman had 2 RBI. The teams play on Saturday at 705p. James Parr will pitch for the Braves and Brandon Backe will pitch for the 'Stros.
There is sad news in the entertainment world today as legendary actor Paul Newman has passed away at age 83 after a long battle with cancer. Even though he was nominated 9 times for an academy award, he only won once for "The Color of Money". He stopped acting after the year 2000, but did have a role as the voice of Doc Hudson in the movie Cars. His best movies were from the 1960's and early 70's. Those movies included The Sting, Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Hustler. Newman is survived by his wife, 5 children, 2 grandsons and his brother.
