Game Summary - Win $277.00
Tell you what, that John Smoltz is a iron horse to be as old as he is with a pulled groin, and pitchs 7 innings.
But then the bullpen had to play. Ouch!~
.....................................................................
Jorge Sosa (2-10) walked Jason Giambi with one out. Rodriguez, mired in a 2-for-20 slump, then drove a 3-1 pitch way over the left-field fence for his 16th home run. The 2005 AL MVP clapped his hands and blew a kiss to the sky on his way to first, then tossed his helmet high in the air as he neared the plate for a warm greeting from teammates.
but the struggling Braves dropped two of three in the series to fall to 5-21 in June.
What began as a tense pitchers' duel between Atlanta's John Smoltz and New York's Chien-Ming Wang turned into a battle of the bullpens ? a weakness all season for the Braves.
Smoltz came out after seven innings leading 2-1.
