In the second game, Jair Jurrjens also tried to notch his tenth win of the year, but early trouble put the Braves behind the 8-ball and the offense could not take advantage of two middle inning bases loaded situations as Greg Norton ended a rally with a fly to center and the next inning came to a close with the bases loaded after McCann lined out to rightfield. The Nationals, thanks to former Braves Ryan Langerhans and Willie Harris stole game two 8-2. In the series finale, things looked good early as Mark Teixeira singled home Gregor Blanco with two outs to stake the Braves to a 1-0 lead, but starter Jo-Jo Reyes gave that one plus several more back over the next few innings. Reyes would be tagged for 6 in less than three innings of work and despite Teixeira’s two home runs, the Braves got clobbered 15-6. Reyes’s record dropped to 3-9 on the campaign.
that was from my Score Atlanta Braves piece.
Is the season over? well I hope not, since I cover the Braves for ScoreATL and 790, but things ain't lookin' great right now.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
40 days until football season!
