The Official Site of Major League Baseball: News: Boxscore

Matt DeSalvo, whom I meant to write up but didn’t, didn’t do himself any favors by giving up four runs in the eighth and ninth to lose the game. Loser. Good thing it doesn’t matter. Boyer allowed five baserunners in two innings, but no runs, which I guess means he pitched well…

Jurrjens fights off jitters | ajc.com

The Braves believe he’ll develop into a quality top-half-of-rotation starter, but for now he’s competing for the fifth spot. There is only one job available as long as Mike Hampton stays healthy.
