The Braves had their secret weapon on the mound against the Yankees on Saturday. Paul Maholm, who hasn't allowed a run in over fourteen innings, shutout the Yankees, as the Braves won 4-0.
The Braves used eight hits to score their four runs. Juan Francisco had the big hit, a two-run homer in the fifth inning, it was his fourth homer of the spring. He finished the day with two hits and two runs driven in. Justin Upton also had two hits and he drove in a run. Jason Heyward drove in the other Braves' run with a hit. Joey Terdoslavich, Tyler Pastornicky and Reed Johnson all recorded hits for the Braves too.
Maholm had a great day on the mound for Atlanta. He gave up two hits and had four strikeouts in his six scoreless innings of work. He has a streak of fourteen and two-thirds innings of not giving up a run, that streak covers his last three outings. He is now 3-1 on the spring. David Carpenter pitched a 1-2-3 seventh inning for the Braves. Prospect J.R. Graham was fantastic over the final two innings of the game, giving up one hit and striking out a batter.
The Braves are now 12-11 on the spring. They will take on the New York Mets for the second time in three days tomorrow at 1:10 p.m. Julio Teheran is scheduled to start for Atlanta.
