Phillies 4, Braves 1

The Braves were shut down by rookie Eude Brito as the Phillies won the first game of a 4 game set, 4-1.

Tim Hudson (12-8) wasn't sharp. He went 6 innings, giving up 4 runs on 7 hits, 2 walks, hit a batter, and struck out 2. McBride pitched a scoreless 7th and Lerew pitched a scoreless 8th.

The Phillies got 2 runs in the 3rd and 2 in the 5th. The Braves got their only run on a Todd Hollandsworth pinch-hit homer.

Offensive contributor: Todd Hollandsworth hit a pinch-hit homer in the 8th inning, his 6th homer of the season and his 1st as a Brave.

Chipper Jones left the game with a strained left quad, he is day-to-day.

Brian Jordan started in left field and had a hit in 4 ABs and threw a runner out.

The Marlins are winning comfortably over the Astros late. They would pass them for the Wild Card lead. It doesn't look like there will be a reduction in the Magic Number tonight, and it remains at 13.

John Thomson will pitch against Gavin Floyd tomorrow night.
