The Braves have won 4 of their last 5 games in their final gasp attempt to try and make the postseason. For a second straight night, they topped the Florida Marlins--Tuesday's final of 4-3. The Braves got run-scoring singles from four different players. On the mound, rookie starter Jo-Jo Reyes earned his first major league victory. He allowed 3 hits and a run in 5 innings of work. With 11 games to go, Atlanta is 5-and-a-half games back in both the race for the NL-East division crown, and the wild card.
The Falcons continue to re-tool their roster, only 2 games into the season. One day after signing 47-year-old placekicker Morten Anderson, the team has gone for quarterback help. Former Jacksonville Jaguar QB Byron Leftwich was signed to a 2-year/7-million dollar contract. He will be a backup--perhaps only for now--to starter Joey Harrington. The Falcons are 0-2 on the young NFL season, and play their home opener this Sunday.
