The Atlanta Braves got a great performance on the mound by Jorge Campillo who pitched seven shut out innings and limited the Florida Marlins to only two hits while the Braves defeated the Marlins 4-0. It was exactly the way the Braves wanted to start the series with the Marlins. Campillo earned the win after striking out six batters and improved his record to 5-4 on the year.
Will Ohman and Mike Gonzalez pitched the eighth and ninth innings to finish off the Marlins. All in all all three Braves pitchers threw a great game and did a great job.
Mark Kotsay got the scoring started in the 2nd inning for the Braves when he singled in Mark Teixeira for the Braves first run. Chipper Jonese added a rbi single in the 5th inning and then Teixeira had a rbi double that scored Jones in the 7th inning. In the 9th inning, the Braves added on an insurance run when Martin Prado doubled and Kotsay scored.
The Braves will look to go up 2-0 in the series as they face off against the Marlins again on Tuesday night.
