In his first fourteen pitches thrown, Jeff Bennett gave up two home runs, but he finally found his rhythm and only allowed one more run in his six-inning outing. If you combine Bennett’s performance with the offense going 1 for 14 with runners in scoring position, leaving 13 men on base, you get the Braves’ second-straight loss with a score of 7-2. In the Second inning, Matt Diaz gave some hope to the dismal start when he hit a solo homer off the Marlins’ Andrew Miller. Miller pitched five innings, giving up two runs, and earning his first win of the season. The Braves had the hits, but were not able to capitalize. Tonight, Atlanta looks to redeem themselves with Chuck James on the mound against Burke Badenhop.
