Well, we may be in 2nd instead of 1st after tonight. Mike giving up a couple long balls is killing us. Got to get some offense real quick. Only down 3 runs right now.

Pitches-Strikes - Mike Minor 105-67

Why is Minor still on the mound?

9-3 Pirates in the 7th, score 1 more run off of Minor and 2 off of Durbin.

Braves lose 9-3

Minor looked good for about 2 innings and then I don't know what happened. Time to regroup for the aching Phils.

PHI C. Hamels (L) vs. ATL B. Beachy (R)

Should be a good series.

J-Hey will most likely be out until Thursday.

Good rally by Atlanta to tie it up at 2-2. But Venters stunk up the 8th and gave the game away. Wish he had called in sick today. But at least the Nats lost, so we are still within .5. But tomorrow wont be easy. Gotta take on Roy. Tonight was the game we needed to win. Beachy pitched well.

We have to scrap and find a way against Halladay tomorrow. It just feels like the Phillies could be winless and we would still have trouble with them.

If the Braves want a chance to win tonight, they have to provide Tommy with run support.

Tommy needs run support for sure. I think we'll win it but it's going to be close and we must take advantage of any of Roy's mistakes.

Victorino RBI single, 1-0 Philly in the 3rd.

Nix 3 run dbl, Hinske couldn't make the play at the warning track, got himself turned around weird. 4-0 Philly in the 3rd, 2 outs

41 pitch 3rd inning for Tommy, middle of 3rd, 4-0 Philly

Pastornicky Ks, Tommy Ks, Bourn grounds out to 2b
