Orr Hitless Streak Extends to 8

Meanwhile the Atlanta Braves are continuing their Offensive rebirth. 18 hits last night - 14 of them were off former Bravo Jason Marquis - Marquis line last night 5.0 IP, 14 H, 12 R, 12 ER, 2 BB, 4 K. UGLY.

Pete Orr pinch hit in the 9th, then played the bottom half of the inning at second base...extending his error free season (101 innings played).

Hudson picked up the win. He looked good until 6th. Could have been the short rest. The 'pen held the Cards in check for the balance of the game - the combo of Villareal, Yates, and Moylan gave up 3 hits, a walk, and Ked 2 over the last 3.1 innings.

The Braves gained a game in the Wild Card standings....trailing the Redlegs by 4. Still 11.5 back in the NL East.
