The Braves came back to earth after a sweep of the Blue Jays to lose to the Giants 8-2. Starter Javier Vasquez ran into trouble in the fifth and sixth innings and the bullpen couldn't keep the game close. The offense didn't help too much either. Vasquez gave up 5 runs in 5 2/3 innings and Buddy Carlyle gave up 3 runs in 2 innings to raise his ERA to 8.84. Why is Carlyle still getting innings??? The offense could only muster 6 hits, but 3 of them were from Brian McCann. McCann is hitting 11-for-23 (.478) in his last 7 games. Currently, Atlanta is 12-8 against teams that are .500 or better and 11-13 against teams that are below .500. The Braves are 1.5 games behind in the NL East. They play tonight at 1015pm. Kris Medlen will make his second career start for the Braves.
The IU Hoosiers will travel to Louisville to play the Cardinals in the NCAA regional on Friday at 7pm. It should be a great pitching match-up as IU pitcher Eric Arnett is a finalist for national pitcher of the year and Louisville pitcher Justin Marks was the Big East pitcher of the year.
