post from MLB News Blog on 21 September 2011 11:08:30 PM. © MLB News Blog

Like a day-old open bottle of champagne, the Phillies have gone flat. The division title celebration on Saturday — when the Phillies sprayed bubbly around the clubhouse and on the field — was the last time the NL East champs had a reason to feel good. Since then, Philadelphia is 0-5: Its longest losing streak [...]

post from MLB News Blog on 21 September 2011 11:06:30 PM. © MLB News Blog

Mark Buehrle bounced back from a poor outing to earn his 160th career win. The left-hander hopes it isn’t his last in a Chicago White Sox uniform. Buehrle (12-9), whose contract is up after this season, pitched six effective innings and Chicago’s offense awoke for seven runs in the seventh and eighth innings to beat [...]

Braves Go Down 4-0 in Final Sun Life Game to
Vazquez and the Fish

post from Talking Chop on 21 September 2011 11:01:10 PM. © Talking Chop

Javy Vazquez didn't help out his former teams playoff chances tonight.

The Braves couldn't figure out their old teammate as the Marlins flipped the script on the Braves tonight. After a big 4-0 win last night, the Braves lost by the same score tonight. Javy Vazquez was terrific for the Fish, and despite an above average start by D-Lowe, there was really no contest at Sun Life Stadium tonight.

Vazquez retired the first ten batters that he faced on the night before Prado was able to line a good pitch off of the plate into right field in the fourth. Atlanta mustered up a threat in the seventh behind a big Jason Heyward double off of the top of the left center field wall with McCann aboard, and again in the ninth behind two Leo Nunez walks, but never managed to send any runners across the plate.

Derek Lowe pitched just fine, but it wasn't going to cut it against tonight's opponent. A big double by Mike Stanton in the second inning drove in the Marlins first run. A Brett Hayes homer in the fifth, a sac fly in the sixth, and a LoMo homer in the eighth accounted for the Marlins' final three runs. None of which mattered.

The Braves will now have to do their best against the pesky Nationals beginning Friday, sending Huddy to the mound against Stephen Strasburg. The Mets still lead the Cardinals 4-3 as of right....NOW.
