Game 5 - Kershaw v Lee (Another battle of the game's best lefties). Kershaw won the first
game of the series. Can Lee come back?
After 3 up - 3 down inning in the top of the first, the Padres start strongly in the
bottom of the first. Kinsler and HanRam singles. Nelson gets on via error. Buck singles
to drive in two. Morneau walks. 5 Padres up - 2 runs in, runners on the corners, nobody out.
I am thinking "It's going to be one of those games". Swisher pops out, Thames hits SF and
Bonifacio Ks. Braves relieved to be out of the inning with such little damage. Padres
lead 3-0
Braves answer back in the top of the second - Three singles by Zimmerman, Hamilton
and Pudge lead to a run. Kershaw begins to settle down in the bottom of the 2nd. Padres
3 - Braves 1
Top of 3rd - Braves bats continue to hit. Kershaw leads off with a single, but is
erased on a DP. Weeks doubles - Heyward singles to drive him in. Zimmerman homers
Heyward in. Braves take the lead 4-3.
Things are quiet until the 7th. Braves get the lead off batter on. Eduardo Nunez
pinch runs and steals 2nd but is stranded.
Bottom of the 7th. JJ Hardy commits on out error to Nelson Cruz. Cruz steals 2nd
and is driven in by Justin Morneau's 2 out double. Swisher walks but is forced at 2nd
by Thames groundout. Padres - Braves tied 4-4
The top of the 8th - Braves make some noise. Heyward singles, Zimmerman flies out.
Padre manager brings in Lefty setup man - Sean Burnett. Bruce singles and Jash Hamilton
is intentionally walked. Based loaded - one out. Burnett gets the hook. Aardsma comes
in and Ks pinch hitters - Coghlan and Espinosa to end the threat. Braves think "Ouch"
Bottom of the 8th - Billy Wagner comes in and allows only a walk to Ian Stewart.
Top of the 9th - JJ Hardy makes up for his 7th inning error with a lead off HR.
Takahashi comes in pick up a K on Gardner and gets Weeks to fly out. JHey goes to 2nd
on Kinsler
error. Brian Sweeney comes in to get Zimmerman to pop out and end the threat. Braves
up by 1 (Atl 5 - SD 4)
Wagner remains in the game for the bottom of the 9th. Get Cruz to pop out, Buck
to K and Morneau to ground out. Braves win 5-4 and head back to Atl for games 6 and 7.
