The Braves beat the Nationals last night 6-2 for their fifth win in a row. Adam LaRoche showed why GM Frank Wren traded for him by hitting two home runs. LaRoche was 2-for-3 with 3 RBI. Garrett Anderson and Martin Prado also homered for Atlanta. Derek Lowe pitched 7 innings, giving up 2 runs on 7 hits while striking out 5. Peter Moylan and Mike Gonzalez each pitched a shutout inning of relief. The Braves have the day off on Thursday before hosting Philadelphia in a huge three game series that could turn the division upside down.
Atlanta is tied for second place in the NL East with the Marlins and are 4.5 games behind Philly. The Braves are 3 games behind Colorado in the wild card race.
Lance Lynn pitches tonight for the Springfield Cardinals in game one of a double header with two 7-inning games. Game time is 705 EST.
