Braves Baseball Blog

Jorge Campillo held the Marlins to two hits in seven innings on the mound and with an RBI from Chipper Jones, Mark Kotsay, and Mark Teixeira the Braves won the series opener 4-0.  Campillo had a no-hitter going into the Fifth when Mark Jacobs broke that streak with a hit.  The Braves are now six games behind New York and moving closer to Florida with the win.  The Mets will be taking on the Phillies who are tied with them for first in the NL East standings for a three-game series starting Tuesday.  The Braves will look to keep making up distance in the standings again tomorrow night at Dolphin Stadium.
