Braves Update:
The Braves went into extra innings on Sunday and actually came out winners thanks to Yunel Escobar's game winning single which drove in Jeff Francoeur. Escobar has been at short stop since the Braves placed Edgar Renteria on the DL. Chipper Jones was one hit away from the cycle and Mark Teixeira continues to impress by hitting a double. The Braves have the day off before heading up to Queens to take on the New York Mets.
