The Braves exploded for 11 runs and 14 hits with Uggla batting second, but he only managed to go 1-5 with a double, three strikeouts and left two runners on base.
Ugh-La Watch: .170
The Braves have now won four in row and it looks like McLouth and Heyward are getting close to being back (they both hit of tees yesterday). The bad news is that Martin Prado went to the D.L. with staph. He is really the heart and soul of the team these days, so every win without him is a bonus.
The key to this four-game winning streak? The pitching is real answer, but Freddie Freeman's hot bat is what is sparking the offense. There isn't much fire to go along with him yet, but it looks like the rookie might be figuring things out at the major league level. He went 3-5 with a home run last night and is now .279 for the season.
Mike Minor vs. Astros tonight at 7 as the Braves go for their fifth in a row.
