Braves conclude homestand versus Cardinals

Baseball Betting Lines

07/22/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Braves will attempt to wrap their 10-game homestand with a winning record tonight when they conclude a four-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals at Turner Field.

Atlanta has taken two of the first three games of this set, including a 14-6 rout on Saturday, to improve to 5-4 on its current residency.

Willie Harris sparked yesterday's offensive explosion as he became just the second player in Atlanta history to have six hits in a game, matching Felix Millan, who turned the trick in 1970.

Harris went 6-for-6, including two triples, drove in a career-high six runs, and also scored four times for the Braves, who trail the New York Mets by 2 1/2 games for the lead in the National League East.

Chipper Jones added three hits, one a two-run homer, and knocked in four runs for the Braves. The run support was more than enough for starter Buddy Carlyle (5-2), who won his fourth straight decision after allowing three runs on seven hits over six innings.

Braden Looper (7-8) on the other hand, was victimized for seven runs and 10 hits in just 2 2/3 innings for St. Louis, which has dropped two of three and fell to 4-5 on a 10-game road trip.

Chris Duncan had three hits, including a two-run homer, and Aaron Miles knocked in two runs in the setback.

Cardinals third baseman Scott Rolen (shoulder) missed his fourth straight game due to a shoulder injury, but took batting practice yesterday and could be in the starting lineup tonight.

Brad Thompson earns the starting assignment this evening for the Cardinals. Thompson has jumped around this year as a starter and a reliever, but was on the hill to start St. Louis' game on Tuesday against Florida. The right- hander walked away with a loss, however, after allowing three runs on seven hits over six innings of a 4-0 loss.

Thompson is 4-3 with a 4.88 earned run average in 11 starts this season and 2-1 with a 5.55 ERA in 18 relief appearances.

The 25-year-old has faced the Braves just once in his career, coming out of the bullpen, and tossed two scoreless innings, yielding one hit in an 8-1 setback on August 6, 2005.

Atlanta's Jo-Jo Reyes will try again for his first major league win when he makes just his third career start tonight. Reyes earned a no-decision after a three inning debut on July 7 that saw him allow five runs in three innings at San Diego. However, his offense took him off the hook in the 8-5 loss.

He wasn't so lucky in his home debut against the Reds on Tuesday, as the left- hander was blitzed for four runs and eight hits over 6 1/3 innings of a 6-5 loss, his first in the big leagues.

This series marks the first 2007 meeting between these teams. Atlanta won four of six matchups with St. Louis last season and is 6-2 in its last seven games against the Cardinals at Turner Field.
