The Braves got 3 hits from shortstop Yunel Escobar, including a 2-run RBI single in the 2nd inning. Omar Infante delivered a 2-RBI triple in the 8th inning to provide breathing room. Jo Jo Reyes earned the pitching win, with 8 hits and 2 runs scattered across 5 innings. The bullpen continued its strong work with 4 scoreless frames. The Braves now boast a major-league best 16-5 home record in their games at Turner Field in Atlanta.
There has been a setback for veteran pitcher John Smoltz trying to return to action. He felt discomfort in his right shoulder in two throwing sessions the past few days, possibly extending his return from the disabled list into sometime in June.
