Series Recap—Dodgers at Atlanta

5/4: Braves 4, Dodgers 0
5/5: Dodgers 6, Braves 3
5/6: Braves 6, Dodgers 4

This was the series that got away. Well, that was disappointing, although at least the team seems to have started to hit again. They did manage to beat Tim Hudson, no mean feat, with Lowe throwing his best game of the season against him. But then Chin-hui Tsao stopped being perfect, blowing the final game with a five-run inning, the first hits, runs, and walks he's given up all season. Bother.

Betemit was benched Saturday, and celebrated the fact by hitting pinch hit homers on consecutive days. Andy LaRoche was brought Sunday up to replace him in the lineup, and looked good in his MLB debut. Marlon Anderson was placed on the DL.
