Braves Roughed Up by BayBears

The Braves and Daniel Curtis were tagged for 6 runs in the first two innings and it was over before it started as the BayBears blew out the Braves 12-3 in front of 1,293 at Hank Aaron Stadium.

The Braves helped out the BayBears with 9 walks and 4 errors in the field as Mobile put the game away early with two huge doubles by Drew Macias as finished with 5 RBIs. The biggest blow came in the sixth as the BayBears erupted for 5 runs off reliever Bryan Digby.

Braves' starter Daniel Curtis (5.0 IP, 7 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 6 BB, 6 K) struggled through the first two innings, but settled down allowing just one run the next three innings. Roger Deago (6.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K) pitched brilliantly in just his second start of the season for Mobile.
