A game that took over four hours Wednesday afternoon ended up another loss for the Braves--they fell to the Reds 5-4 in 15 innings from Turner Field in Atlanta. Cincinnati swept the 3-game series. Brandon Phillips had a 2-run single in the 15th inning for a Reds' 2-run lead. The Braves got 1 run back in their last at-bat courtesy Jeff Francouer's RBI-hit. The Braves hope to get back on track as they open a new series against the Cardinals tonight.
The Braves have brought back an old face. Julio Franco has been re-signed by the club. The 48-year-old Franco was with Atlanta from 2001 through '05. He left as a free agent for the Mets, but they released him last week. Franco will serve as a utility player off the bench.
