Well, it was good to see Tommy Hanson not suck tonight. He threw 7 shut out innings for the Tomahawks, as Atlanta took the first of a 3 game series against the Marlins.
Jason Heyward and Brian McCann hit solo shots that might still be flyin' over the state of Georgia. But, it was Martin Prado, who caused Chris Volstad to start unraveling on the mound. With 2 out in the 3rd, the Braves left fielder singled and scored on a double off the bat of Nate McLouth. Then, Chipper Jones came through with an RBI single and just like that, Atlanta led 2-0.
With the game still resembling a potential pitcher's duel, Jason Heyward made his presence known with a solo HR in the 4th inning. The Bravos led 3-0 and Volstad was in trouble.
Fast forward to the 5th. Prado led off the inning with a double and was advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Nate McLouth. With a teammate 90 feet away and 1 out, Jones delivered once more. His sac fly put Atlanta on top
4-0. Then, with 2 outs and the bases clear of Braves, Brian McCann drilled a solo HR all the way from Atlanta to Augusta.
Former Fish, Alex Gonzalez, made some sensational plays at second base for the Braves, as Atlanta would win 5-0.
