The Braves beat the Phillies yesterday 4-2 behind the offense of Casey Kotchman and Garrett Anderson who both played on the Angels last season. Kotchman had 3 hits and 3 RBI to raise his average to .312 while Anderson had 2 hits. Kenshin Kawakami got the win, giving up 2 runs in 6 innings. He finally got some run support in this one. The Braves are 2.5 games behind the Mets for the division lead. They have a three-game series at New York starting today. It should really be a good game tonight. Derek Lowe pitches for the Braves and Johan Santana will pitch for the Mets. Since both of these pitchers are on my fantasy team, I am hoping for a 1-0 game.
Ball State swept Northern Illinois with a 8-6 victory yesterday. Kolbrin Vitek got the win, pitching 5 innings an giving up 3 runs. Zach Dygert had 2 hits and 2 RBI, including a home run. With Toledo's loss, BSU is now one game behind Toledo in the MAC West with a big showdown this Thurs-Fri-Sat against the Rockets. Whichever team wins the three-game series will win the MAC West. BSU has a double-header at Michigan on Tuesday.
Former Brownsburg pitcher Lance Lynn has been promoted to Double-A Springfield in the St Louis Cardinals organization. Lance sailed through his first game, pitching 5 innings of shutout baseball. Yesterday, he pitched well through 5 innings, but ran into a little trouble in the 6th. He ended up only giving up 2 earned runs out of the 7 that he was responsible for. Through two games, he has a 1.69 ERA with 9 Ks in 10 2/3 innings.
