Tim Hudson pitched a complete game, one hit shutout. Not bad.

He helped himself in the second inning with an RBI single. Marcus drove in one in the fourth with a single and that was it for scoring. Both pitchers had their A game in this one.

Renteria and McCann each had two hits. Renteria's hit extended his hitting streak to 18 games. Marcus and Hudson had the RBI's.

Timmy actually didn't have the control he wanted. He walked three and struck out five, but he was able to get outs and that's all that matters. On the other side, Jason Jennings went seven, allowing two runs on seven hits.

Today's game starts at 7:35 on Turner South. Jorge vs. Aaron Cook.

Big Frank was huge, having a career day to help the Braves avoid a sweep.

Langy started the scoring with an RBI single in the second. Marcus added two more with a single. The Mets tied it in the third when Beltran hit a two-run home run and Floyd got an RBI single. Francoeur got his first RBI in the home half with a single. He drove in two more in the fourth. Chavez homered in the sixth, but Francoeur answered with a two-run bomb in the home half. The Mets tried to come back in the late innings but Reitsma closed them down.

Big offensive day for the Braves, which hopefully will be a slump buster. Marcus had two RBI's, Renny and McCann had two hits, Langy drove in one, and Frank was the hero. 4-5, home run, and five RBI's. Not to mention the game-saving diving catch to the end the game.

Davies went five, allowing three runs on four hits while walking four and striking out six. Cormier allowed a homer in the sixth. Ray pitched a scoreless inning. Villy struggled, walking in a run. But Reitsma got out of the eighth and pitched a scoreless ninth despite shaky control for his fifth save.

The Rockies come to town for a two-game series. Tomorrow's game starts at 7:05 on Turner South. Hudson vs. Jason Jennings.

When the best hitter of the night is Brian Jordan, you know it's time for a shakeup.

John Thomson made one bad pitch out of 116 and it cost him and his team the game. Paul Lo Duca hit a solo homer in the sixth for the only run of the game. Jordan had two hits. Renny, Chipper, and Diaz each had one.

Tom Glavine lasted seven innings, allowing four hits and no runs while walking two and striking out one. Thomson went six and two-thirds, allowing one run on three hits while walking four and striking out six. Villy walked one and allowed a hit but was able to get out of the seventh inning. Remmy was lights out in the eighth and Cormier pitched a scoreless ninth.

Tomorrow's game starts at 1:05 on TBS. Davies vs. Steve Trachsel.

Bobby Cox may be one of the best managers in the history of the game, but he was a moron tonight. You don't take Brian McCann out and replace him with Todd Pratt with the game on the line against Billy Wagner. That's just something you don't do.

David Wright continued his Brave bashing with two homers and three RBI's. With a 3-0 lead in the sixth, Chipper hit a two-run shot. But the Mets made it 5-2 with two runs in the ninth. The Braves tried to come back in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded, but Bobby decided to take the best hitter on the team out and put in freakin' Todd Pratt. Of course, Pratt struck out on three pitches.

Smoltz lasted seven innings, allowing eight hits and three runs while walking four and striking out ten. He was able to get out of many jams throughout the game. Remmy pitched a scoreless inning and Reitsma sucked.

Tomorrow's game starts at 7:05 on TBS. Glavine vs. Thomson.

Willy B is my hero.

Pitcher's duel between both staffs. Jose Guillen doubled home a run in the first and that was it for the Nats. The Braves were held scoreless until the eighth, when Betimet hit a pretty three-run home run to give them the lead and win.

Willy B was the only hitter with two hits and had all three RBI's. Martin Prado looked good at the plate in his debut, going 1-2 with two walks and scored on Betimet's homer. Please no more Tony Pena.

John Thomson pulled a Jorge, going six innings allowing one run on seven hits while walking five and striking out five. The Nats left 18 baserunners. Cormier pitched a scoreless inning and earned the win. Reitsma tried to give me a heart attack in one and two-thirds of work, but Remmy got him out of trouble in the ninth and got the well-earned save.

Today's game is in Milwaukee. 8:05 on Turner South. Davies vs. Chris Capuano.

The game of the year and I missed it thanks to school. I think I'll drop out.

A true pitcher's duel. Nothing happened until the seventh, when Andruw lifted off on Glavine for a solo homer. The crucial run came in the eighth when David Wright committed an error, allowing Tony Pena to score. Chris Woodward drove in one in the ninth but that was it.

Francoeur was the only multi-hit hitter, but Andruw hit his seventh shot of the season.

Hudson outdueled Glavine, putting up the same exact line as Davies did yesterday. Nine innings, three hits, one earned run, one walk, and six strikeouts. The only difference is that Timmy had a perfect game through five. Glavine went eight, allowing one earned run on four hits while walking none and striking out five.

I wonder how long it will take ESPN to get back to that World Series talk. I guess a day. The Braves truly own the Mets.

After a well deserved day off, the Braves head to Washington to face the Natspos. Friday's game starts at 7:05 on Fox Sports Net. Smoltz vs. John Patterson.

Kyle Davies and Andruw Jones rule.

Adam Ant doubled home two in the first to start the show. Andruw hit a two-run bomb in the third and Ant followed with a solo shot of his own. Chris Woodward hit a solo home run in the third for the Mets, but it didn't matter. Andruw hit another two-run homer in the fifth to cap it.

LaRoche and Andruw each had three hits and were responsible for all seven of the RBI's. Ant with three and Andruw with four.

Davies went the distance, allowing one run on only three hits while walking one and striking out six. That lineup didn't look too hot tonight.

The rubber game in the ugliest stadium in baseball will be played at 1:05 on TBS. Hudson vs. Tom Glavine.
