The Atlanta Braves destroyed the Flordia Marlins by the score of 8-0 on Thursday night. Chipper Jones hit two home runs, Mark Teixeira and Brian McCann also hit home runs for the Braves. Jones, Teixeira, and McCann went back-to-back-to-back in the fifth inning to blow the game wide open.
John Smoltz pitched five innings and only allowed three hits to pick up the win. Will Ohman, Chris Resop, Manny Acosta, and Buddy Carlyle pitched the final four innings of the game without giving up a hit. Great job by all the pitchers to limit the Marlins to only three hits on the night.
