Georgia sports for Tuesday, May 6th

Atlanta Braves--

The Braves out of their Monday off-day on the schedule, resume their homestand tonight with the opener of 3 games against the San Diego Padres in Atlanta. The Braves are riding a 3-game winning streak after sweeping the Cincinnati Reds over the weekend.

Braves notes--

The Braves on Monday completed a deal with the Seattle Mariners, acquiring utilityman Greg Norton. In return, the Braves will send either a player-to-be-named later or cash considerations to Seattle. Norton replaces backup infielder Martin Prado on the roster for the time being--Prado was placed on the disabled list with a severely sprained left thumb.
