The Braves wrapped their 10-game/3-city road trip in victory, disposing-of the Marlins in Miami last night 7-4. Matt Diaz ripped a pair of home runs to account for his 3 RBI's on the night. Yunel Escobar added a homer. Starting pitcher Buddy Carlyle earned the win after dropping his previous 3 starts. The Braves made a loser of Florida-starter Dontrelle Willis, who has won only once in his past 17 outings. In the bigger picture, the Braves posted 4 wins on the 10-game swing. They stand 5 games behind NL-East division leader New York, and the same 5-game deficit in the race for the wild card playoff spot. Off today, the Braves open a homestand against the Mets Friday night.
