Braves drop a heartbreaker in 10

After an hour and a half rain delay chased both starters in the middle of the 4th Oscar Villarreal played the villain and yielded 3 runs in the space of 2 batters. It was all cruddy from there on until the 9th when the braves put men on 2nd and 3rd after a wild pitch from Gregg and Escobar worked a tremendous at bat for a 2 run single. But that was the last offense the braves would get after Wickman and Soriano each gave up runs to drop the braves to 43-39 and still 4 games back after a Mets loss.

WP: Gardner (2-2)
LP: Soriano (2-1)
BS: Wickman

HR: A Jones (13, 7th inning off M Lindstrom); J Hermida (7, 4th inning off O Villarreal), M Olivo (7, 9th inning off B Wickman)
