Braves update

For those of you unable to view today's Braves vs Nats game, you can listen online via the good folks at 1570 WCLE am in Cleveland, Tennessee. Go to their website, http://www.1570wcle.com/ then click listen live on their home page. This prompts a page with basketball hoops and advertising to appear. Go to the bottom of this page and click listen live (again). This will allow you to hear the Braves broadcast of today's game over the internet.

After 2 innings, Atlanta leads Nats 2-0. Chipper Jones scored the first run of the season. After stretching a 2 out, 1st inning single into 2 bases, catcher Brian McCann sent him home, with an RBI single.

In the Braves' second inning, Jason Heyward hit a solo shot to Right Field. This is the second year in a row, that Heyward has homered in his first at bat.

Leadoff man, Martin Prado at the plate. Go Braves!

I'll provide some updates in the comments section.
