Once again, they never had a chance

The Braves were down 4-0 after two innings and never could come back against the Cubs, losing 4-2. Jair Jurrjens struggled early and ended up pitching 6 innings and giving up the 4 runs. Peter Moylan and Manny Acosta each pitched a solid inning of relief. The offense was led by Yunel Escobar, who was 2 for 3 with a walk and a RBI. Garrett Anderson, Matt Diaz, and Martin Prado were poor performers on offense. They were a combined 0 for 13 with 9 runners left on base. The two teams play tonight at 805p on WGN. Javier Vasquez will pitch for the Braves.
