SWEEP!!!The Braves came from behind against Johan Santana to sweep a four game set from the nose-diving New York Mets. Tim Hudson was brilliant with the exception of two pitches to Carlos Beltran and Carlos Delgado, going eight innings for Atlanta. The big hit of the game belonged to Omar Infante who punched a game-tying single to centerfield against Santana. I like Infante more and more all the time.
No beanball war last night as the game was too close. Tim Hudson took exception to a Santana high and tight pitch when he squared to bunt, but that was the extent of the drama. I still think the Mets will get one in the back from an Atlanta pitcher before the end of the season.
The four game sweep means the Braves are 6-1 on the homestand so far - all without John Smoltz, Mike Gonzalez, Rafael Soriano and even Yunel Escobar for a stretch.
Yesterday I mentioned the fan who fell from the bleachers at Turner Field. He passed away from those injuries. He was 25 years old and initial reports indicate alcohol was involved. Sad.
The Diamondbacks come to town tonight with Doug Davis pitching for Arizona. Davis is making his first start since being diagnosed with cancer, so I'll be pulling for him and against him.
Chipper finished the series with a 2 for 4 night including the go-ahead RBI.
Current Average - .412
