The Braves completed their first homestand of the season with an 8-4 win over the Florida Marlins at Turner Field Sunday. Despite cold and windy conditions, the Braves got another strong effort on the mound from Tim Hudson, who allowed only a run and 6 hits across 7 innings. At the plate, Chipper Jones connected for a 3-run homer, while Andruw Jones added a 2-run blast.
The Braves own the best record in baseball at 8-3. They open a 2-game series at Washington tonight.
Pro hockey, the Atlanta Thrashers have some work to do if they hope to move-on in their first-ever playoff appearance. A loss on Saturday has them down 2 games to none in their ‘best of 7’ 1st round series against the Rangers. Game-3 is tomorrow night in New York.
