Well, that hurt. After taking the lead in the top of the 9th off of a Garrett Anderson solo homer, Soriano gave up a walk, sac bunt and walk off homer to the immortal Ross Gload to give the Marlins the first game of the series.

The Braves got on the board first with an RBI single from Prado. Jurrjens gave it right back in the bottom half, however, with a double from Hanley that scored Nolasco (ugh) and Bonifacio.  Things stayed that way until the top of the 6th, where Chipper led of the inning with a solo shot. Of course, this all led to the rug being pulled out from under us in the 9th. It’s games like this that will be remembered at the end of the season when we finish 2 games out of the Wild Card.

Jurrjens pitched well, going six innings with five strikeouts while walking just one. Anderson had the best day at the plate, going 2-4 with the aforementioned home run. Obviously, the biggest low-light was Soriano’s blown save, but McCann and Kotchman can both take a bit of the blame with dueling 0-4′s.

Kawakami/Johnson tonight. We really need Kawakami to step it up if we have any chance of taking these next two game.  The Vegas line says that we are 41.5% to win tonight. That seems realistic. If we use that number and assume a 55% chance to win tomorrow, we have around a 23% chance to win this series. It could be worse.

The injury problems for one the greatest Braves of all time, Chipper Jones continue…this time it’s a sore right elbow. The Atalnta Journal Constituion says that Jones coud miss at least the first game and possibly even the second game of the Braves upcoming series with the Mets. Jones said, “I’ve had a pretty serious case of tendinitis in my elbow all year, coupled with hyperextending it today, it got to a point where I couldn’t really throw across the infield.” The 37 year old has been battling injuries for the past few seasons now and this injury is just another in a series of many for the aging superstar. Not only was he injured and had to leave the game, but he went 0-3, ending his 29 game hitting streak against the Phillies.

Let’s hope this injury doesn’t keep Jones out for too long because the Braves need to have his bat in this young and incosistent lineup. More to come on this injury on Jones.
