The Braves' offense had nine hits while plating their seven runs. Blake DeWitt had two hits, including a double and two RBI's to lead the offense. B.J. Upton also had two hits and drove in a run. The other Upton, Justin, had a hit and drove in two runs, as did Ernesto Mejia, who had a double and two RBI's. Tyler Pastornicky, Reed Johnson and Matt Pagnozzi also had a hit each for the Braves.
The pitching had a pretty good day for the Braves. Starter Paul Maholm was terrific, pitching five scoreless innings and giving up only two hits to go with five strikeouts. He is now 2-1 on the spring. Anthony Varvaro and Cory Gearrin both pitched scoreless innings. Varvaro struck out two batters in his inning of work and Gearrin struck out the side during his outing.
The Braves have once again evened up their record and they are 9-9 on the spring. They will play again tomorrow at 1:05 p.m. against the St. Louis Cardinals. It will be the first time the two teams have met since last year's wild card playoff game. Julio Teheran is expected to make the start for the Braves.
