Did not see that victory coming. James McDonald was spectacular for 5 innings and then ran into some trouble in the 6th before being yanked for Chris Resop who promptly dominated and got out the the bases loaded jam. The rest of the bullpen shut it down to give the Bucs a 3-1 win, allowing them to keep pace in the NL Central. Tonight, Jeff Karstens (8-5, 2.28 ERA) goes against Tommy Hanson (11-5, 3.06). Both pitchers have been fantastic as of late so I expect another low scoring game. I also think Pedro Alvarez will square up a ball against Hanson and drive it somewhere either for a double or home run. This game could go either way for me, but I think that Karstens pitches well but the Bucs fail to figure out Hanson. Braves win 4-1.
