Just a quick update about game one of a double header on Wednesday afternoon. The Braves were hammered by the visiting Chicago Cubs by the score of 10-2. The Braves had plenty of chances to score some runs in the game but they left 17 runners on base and could not get the big hits when they had runners on base.
Charlie Morton took the loss after only lasting 2 1/3 innings. Morton gave up four hits and four runs while giving four walks. Morton was getting hammered so the team had no choice and had to take him out early. With the bullpen throwing so much I don’t expect good things out of the second game. Vladimir Nunez was charged with four runs while Francisley Bueno gave up two more runs out of the bullpen.
Mark Kotsay and Omar Infante both had a rbi each for the Braves offense. Hopefully the bats will come around and score more then two runs in the nightcap. Stay tuned for our update this evening!
