Lance Cormier was a little rusty in his first start of the season. Cormier had been on the DL since late March with an injured right arm. In the first inning, Cormier loaded the bases and allowed a two out grand slam by former Brave (and New Jersey native) Mark DeRosa. It didn't get much better for the Braves as they lost 10-1. The Braves head home for a series against the Florida Marlins beginning tonight at 7:05 PM/est on SS.
