Atlanta Earns 6-5 Win
|
The Atlanta Braves faced a tough opponent in Las Vegas pitcher Brad Jorgensen, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Las Vegas Ballpark by a final score of 6-5. Jorgensen went 6.1 innings and allowed 1 run. Tony Martinez, who is tied for 6th in the NL in saves with 28, earned the save for Atlanta. Atlanta, at 61-61, sits in second place in the National League East Division.
The result might have been different, had it not been for 29-year old second baseman Kenny Akers. Akers had a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Braves ahead, 6-5. For the game, Akers had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.
"I try to not think too much," said Akers.
