Hits and Rookie Arm Combine for Braves Win

by @ 12:06 pm. Filed under Uncategorized

After a close 2-0 win on Friday, the Braves combined for 15 hits to beat the Reds 9-1.  Rookie Jo-Jo Reyes was solid on the mound.  Reyes only allowed one run on four hits and struck out five in 5 1/3 innings.  The score was 2-1 until the 7th when the Braves rallied for six runs and added one more in the 8th to stretch the lead even further.  Yunel Escobar hit 3 for 4 having two runs and an RBI, and Brian McCann was once again a valuable bat with two RBIs.  Jeff Francoeur and Mark Teixeira both had an RBI during the night as well.  The Braves now have back-to-back wins after their four-game losing streak, the highest of the season thus far. This afternoon the Braves will take on the Reds for the last game of the series with veteran Tom Glavine taking the mound in search of his first victory of the season against Josh Fogg.
