The Braves beat the Astros last night 9-7. Atlanta scored 3 in the first inning and three in the second inning to take a 6-1 lead. Houston cut the lead to 6-4 in the 4th inning, but would get no closer than that. Derek Lowe got the win by pitching 5 2/3 innings, but he gave up 5 runs. Mike Gonzalez got his 10th save of the season. Brian McCann had 4 hits and 2 RBI, Yunel Escobar had 3 hits and 3 runs, and Garrett Anderson had 2 hits and 3 RBI. The Braves travel to St Louis to begin a 3 game series tonight at 815p. Jair Jurrjens will pitch for the Braves.
The Braves are 8 games behind the Phillies in the NL East and 8.5 games behind the Rockies in the wild card race.
Lance Lynn did not pitch well last night in the Texas League semi-finals. Lance gave up 7 runs in 4 1/3 innings and got a no-decision in Springfield's 12-7 loss. The Cardinals are now down 2-0 in the 5 game series.
