This was another one of those games where the outcome was determined after only a few innings. After a rain delay pushed back the start of the game (still no postponements, not sure if that's a good thing or not), The Braves scored 5 runs in the first 2 innings and after that you knew it was over. A bad game for Zach Duke, earning all 7 runs the Braves scored, but poor play tends to be contagious and the Braves are a tough team to beat anyway. Neil Walker continues to hit the ball well, going 2 for 4 and scoring a run and an RBI. His average is up to .294 right now, not bad for a kid no one thought could do anything at the major league level a few years ago. Garrett Jones also went 2 for 3 with an RBI. The other RBI was hit by Andy LaRoche, who was the only pinch-hitter for the Bucs in this game.
Freshly called up pitcher Steven Jackson pitched well in relief for 1.6 innings, allowing just 1 hit and throwing 2 Ks. Joel Hanrahan wrapped it up in the 8th with 2 Ks and no hits.
GAME.
