I think the D-Backs take this one. I'm not trying to come off as negative, but it's just what I expect to happen, so I hope the Braves prove me wrong.

GO BRAVES!

Agreed at this point you just can't expect a win when you have Lowe on the Mound, hope I'm wrong tho

Mac had a 2 run shot that went so deep that Upton didn't even move. Meanwhile Lowe is pitching great, 6ks and only 2 hits through 4, and of course the D-Backs are still off the board. Keep it up Lowe

We pulled Derek Lowe after 5 innings. It's about time Freddie realized that it's in the best interest of the team. On the other hand, Lowe pitched very well.

Good win. Ari and SF both lost tonight. Don't see anyone catching us in the WC race. Kinda sad that I don't see us catching Philly either but we can win 100.

Has a team ever won 100 games and NOT won their Division? But you are fight; I can see it happening to us. We are on a tear, but give Philly credit. They keep winning also. We will have to make up all the ground in our lst few head to head games, and not sure that will happen. Too evenly matched to not pretty much expect a split.

I'm looking forward to watching Beachy pitch tonight. AZ is throwing a young talent out on the mound for the first time.

Tonite is one night I would not want to be Freddi Gonzalez. Heyward does have a 3 game hitting run. Hard to take a struggling guy out when he is getting momentum, but Chipper has hit homers back to back nights and you just sit Constanza the other day. Hard decisions, hopefully we get a win and Jason gets a couple of at bats in the late innings.
