Braves gaining confidence standing 2nd in the East

The Braves have been on a hotstreak latley winning there last 8 out of 9 games and going from last place to second place. Last night after an 1 hour rain delay the Braves at home against the Pirates won 7 to 3. David Ross who has been catching for Brain Mccan who hurt his quad is hittingt great and went 3 for 4 last night with a three run double and two singles with another RBI. Everybody even Derek Lowe had a hit for Atlanta had a hit last night except for shortstop Yunel Escobar and Center fielder Nate Mclouth. Thought they have been hitting well though so I wouldn't call it a slump and would assume they would break out of this tonight with hits. The Braves (26-22) will play the Pirates again tonight first pitch at 7:10 and Kris Medlen (1-1) will face Brian Burres of the Pirates (2-2). Tonight with a Phillies loss and Braves win the Braves will find their self half a game out of first place.
