The Braves lost to the Nationals last night, 8-5 in 10 innings. The Braves were down 5-3 in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded when Kelly Johnson hit a shot to the gap that looked like it would win the game. However, the ball bounced over the fence for a ground-rule double and only two runs would score instead of the three that were on base to win the ballgame. The bullpen could not hold the game as Mike Gonzalez gave up 3 runs in 1/3 of an inning to take the loss. Johnson, Casey Kotchman, and Jeff Francoeur each had 2 hits. Johnson had 2 RBI and is blistering hot in his last 5 games. In that span, he is 13-22 (.591) with 10 RBI. The final game of the series is today at 135p. Jo Jo Reyes pitches for the Braves and Collin Balester will pitch for Washington.
Today is also the start of the NFL season for most teams. I'll have a post on that later.
