The Braves beat the Dodgers yesterday 4-3 in a game where the margin was never more than one run. Derek Lowe had an average outing against his former team, throwing 6 innings and giving up three runs. Peter Moylan (16th hold) and Eric O'Flaherty (12th hold) pitched the seventh inning, while Mike Gonzalez (11th hold) pitched the eighth. Close Rafael Soriano finished the game for his 16th save of the year. Chipper Jones was 2-for-3 with 2 RBI and Greg Norton had a clutch pinch-hit RBI in the 6th to give the Braves the lead for good. Adam Laroche had 2 hits and a walk in his return to the Atlanta lineup. The teams will play the rubber game of the series tonight at 805p on ESPN. Jair Jurrjens will pitch for the Braves.
The Braves are 7 games behind Philly in the NL East and one game behind second place Florida. Atlanta is 4 games behind the Giants and Rockies for the wild card spot.
Lance Lynn will pitch tonight for the class AA Springfield Cardinals. Game time is 330p eastern. A win today would put him in a tie for the Texas League lead in wins. Lance is also in the top 10 in ERA, WHIP, and strikeouts.
Drew Storen will probably pitch either today or tomorrow for class A Potomac. The team usually gives him 1 or 2 days of rest between outings.
