Braves Lose Game, Chipper, Escobar

Jorge Campillo was great until the 7th inning, but the Seattle Mariners tacker on 9 runs in the 7th, 8th, and 9th for a 10-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves.  If that wasn’t bad enough, Chipper left in the 8th after he aggravated his quad injury.  He’s day-to day.  And his average is at .390.  Yunel made it from first to third safely while scoring on a double, but when trying to avoid the tag at home, he made an awkward slide and slammed his right hip into the ground - strained his right hip flexor and is also day-to-day.

Campillo had another solid start, but once again the Braves’ bats were nowhere to be found.  The bullpen wasn’t great either - the normally great Will Ohman gave up 5 earned runs.  The Mariners, whom everyone thought would be listing out of control after they fired their manager and general manager just last week, were stellar.  They racked up fifteen hits.  Erik Bedard was good while he lasted, but he left the game in the third inning with back spasms.

Even a giant tomahawk-chopping cow couldn’t help.  Maybe second time is the charm - more baseball Saturday night.
