The Atlanta Braves were shutout by the Flordia Marlins on Tuesday night by the score of 4-0. The Braves just couldn’t get it going off Marlins starter Scott Olson as he shut down the Braves for the first seven innings before the Marlins bullpen finished the job.
Starting pitcher Jair Jurrjens took the loss for the Braves after tossing six inning and allowing four hits and two earned runs. Jurrjens didn’t pitch to badly, he just didn’t get enough run support to stay in the game longer. Relief pitcher Royce Ring gave up the other two earned runs.
Kelly Johnson and Chipper Jones both led the Braves with two hits each. That was about it off the bats of the Braves. They could never get a rally going and score any runs.
