It was a bad time for the Braves to suffer an offensive power outage—-they scored only 4 runs in 3 weekend games against the Mets, losing all 3, including the final of 3-2 on Sunday from Turner Field. In a fourth matchup this season of former teammates, pitcher Tom Glavine beat John Smoltz for the 1st time this year. Into the final month of the season, the Braves have now lost 9 of their last 12 games, and have fallen 7-and-a-half games back in the NL-East race, as well as 6-and-a-half back in the wild card. The Braves open a home series against Phillies this afternoon.
Weekend college football action saw Georgia and Ga Tech score victories to open their seasons. The Bulldogs beat Oklahoma State 35-14, while the Yellow Jackets won on the road at Notre Dame 33-3. There is some bad news for the Bulldogs however. They’ve lost running back Kregg Lumpkin for this weekend’s game and possibly longer. He suffered a broken thumb in the opening win Saturday.
