The Braves loss a game against the Padres that only had two hits and they still manage to get the victory. It was the second time since 1985 that the Padres win a game with only two hits although the Braves had 5 hits only scored once in a game that was played in one of the toughest field to score the Petco Park.
The Braves are having a regular season so far. They are in third place in the NL East just behind the Mets and Philadelphia and if they want to have a chance to reach any of those two teams theyll need to start playing better baseball. They are having some problems in the bullpen especially with Sosa that hasnt been the pitcher he was last season at all.
If Sosa manages to play like he did last year that will bring some depth to the bullpen that can give some continuity to this team. Hopefully theyll get into a winning streak that allows them to get closer to Philadelphia and New York.
