Stompin’ the Phillies: 10-1

Written by Colin on March 4, 2008 – 10:15 pm

Tim Hudson once again gave up one run in his outing today, but the Braves’ bats made sure that the earned run was forgotten in a 10-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.  Led offensively by Mark Teixeira, who went 2-3 with 2 RBIs, and helped by Brent Lillibridge’s 3 hits, 2 runs, and 1 RBI.  Kotsay also contributed with a hit, run scored and RBI, and Francoeur knocked in a couple as well.

The pitching was great on our side as well - Hudson gave up one run and four hits, but beyond that the staff was almost untouchable.  Will Ohman - the left-handed import from Chicago - pitched a scoreless inning and struck out one.  Buddy Carlyle faced 6 batters and had a perfect two innings with three strikeouts.

In addition, Brandon Jones walked twice and scored two runs - looking good on his part.  I really think he gets the job in left field, though Josh Anderson was 1-2 with a run scored.

Good to see the Braves whip up on the Phillies.  Glad to see that we can hold our own - even if it’s against the second-hand pitching.

Keep up the work, boys.  Francoeur took yesterday off because he played golf with Smoltz, Glavine, and none other than Tiger Woods.  Talk about living the big life.
