The Braves used a 4-run sixth inning to beat the Padres 9-2. Javier Vasquez was solid, as usual, but this time he got some run support. Vasquez pitched 7 innings and gave up 2 runs while striking out 6. The offense was led by Adam LaRoche's 4 hits and Martin Prado's 3 hits and 3 RBI. Matt Diaz had a weird game, going 1-for-5 with a home run and grounded into 3 double plays. The rubber game of the series is at 335 pm this afternoon. Tommy Hanson will pitch for the Braves.
Atlanta is 6.5 games behind the Phillies in the NL East and 1.5 games behind the second-place Marlins. The Braves are 5.5 games behind Colorado in the wild card race.
Around town here, we are all trying to dry out after almost 4 inches of rain were dumped on us yesterday...
