MLB - Atlanta: Braves hitters faced a foe yesterday that had all of the answers. Diamondbacks pitcher Brandon Webb continued his run at a Cy Young Award by pitching six innings and giving up only six hits (all singles) and one earned run. More troubling to the Braves, however, was Mike Hampton’s performance. Hampton only pitched four innings and gave up six earned runs on five hits.
AAA - Richmond: Richmond needed ten innings yesterday, but a win is a win as the R-Braves beat Durham 4 to 3. Brandon Jones had three singles and a stolen base and Jason Phillips drove in two while hitting a home run (his third of the season). Ryan Basner recorded the win in relief (his second) and Jorge Julio notched his 7th save.
AA - Mississippi: Mississippi hitters were only able to muster five hits yesterday and Jordan Schafer had two of them. Thomas Hanson started for the Braves and pitched well going six innings and only allowing two hits while striking out ten, and not surrendering a run.
Adv. A - Myrtle Beach: Did not play.
A - Rome: Did not play.
