Slack reporting sucks.
One more thing about Wednesday night's game...the ESPN's summary (and originally, the AP story) describes the turning point as "Chipper Jones and Andruw Jones came up with two-out, run-scoring hits in the seventh inning, giving the Braves a 3-2 lead." That's half the story, as AP filled in their blanks with a later report. The correct answer is: with two out and empty bases, the Braves strung together four straight hits--singles from Kelly Johnson and Willie Harris, double from Chipper Jones, and another single from Andruw Jones. Four hits, two runs, and a lead.

So you'd figure the Padres would have figured out to not walk Braves' batters. Wrong again. This time, it was reverse order for Harris (walked), then Johnson (bases-clearing double). Two outs, Three runs, and another lead. I was kind of afraid of this series, because the East's pitching is soft, but it seems the East's pitching is mainly soft against the East's batters.
