He delivered pretty good pitches, and on the offense, home runs courtesy of Jason Heyward and Brian McCann made for a promising game. And if the game had ended with the sixth inning, Braves fans could all have gone home pretty happy with their boys. Sure, the fourth inning had seen a couple of errors, but all in all, the Braves were playing pretty well.

And last night'sgame against the Braves did nothing to dispel the notion that the place is cursed for them. |
