First-place Braves resume series with Brewers

Baseball Betting Lines

07/16/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - With rookie sensation Jason Heyward back in the outfield for the Atlanta Braves, things may get a bit easier for the current National League East leaders. Tonight Heyward and the Braves will resume a four-game series versus the Milwaukee Brewers at Turner Field.

Heyward had been hampered by an injured left thumb and saw action last night for the first time since June 26. In the 2-1 triumph over the Brewers, Heyward went 0-for-4 at the plate, but made two key defensive plays in the field. He even collided with the right-field wall while chasing down a fly ball hit by Casey McGehee in the fourth inning.

"I didn't feel dizzy," Heyward said on the team's site. "It happened so quick that I couldn't even tell you what happened. I took a minute to catch my breath."

Martin Prado and Chipper Jones both homered, while Brian McCann and Troy Glaus ended with two hits apiece for Atlanta, which is five games ahead of New York and 5 1/2 games in front of Philadelphia in the division standings. Jair Jurrjens earned the win by holding Milwaukee to a run over 6 2/3 innings before Peter Moylan, Jonny Venters and closer Billy Wagner prevented any more damage. Wagner fanned two batters in the ninth for his 21st save.

Tommy Hanson gets the nod for the Braves Friday and he is 8-5 with a 4.13 earned run average in 18 starts this season. Hanson did not record a decision the last time out in a 4-2 victory against the Mets on July 9, as he delivered 5 2/3 innings of two-run ball with six strikeouts.

Hanson, a right-hander, will try to beat Milwaukee for the second time this season after throwing eight shutout innings and striking out eight in an 8-2 win over the Brewers on May 10 at Miller Park. He is 1-1 with a 3.43 earned run average in three career starts against Milwaukee.

The Braves, winners in five of their last six games, will also host San Diego on the current homestand.

Milwaukee entered the All-Star break fresh off a three-game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates and had its winning streak cut short with Thursday's close loss. Dave Bush was the tough-luck loser, as he yielded a pair of runs on seven hits and two walks in six innings.

"I felt good about the way I threw," Bush said. "Both pitches (for home runs) were mistakes, probably not the only two mistakes, but the two I got hurt on. Besides that, I was happy with the way I threw the ball."

Corey Hart accounted for the only offense with a homer and finished with a team-best two hits for Milwaukee, which lost for the sixth time in nine tries.

The Brewers will also visit the Pirates for four games following their lengthy set in Atlanta. Taking the ball for Milwaukee on Friday will be Randy Wolf, who is 6-8 with a 4.56 earned run average in 19 starts this season. Wolf did not record a decision in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Buccos, as he was reached for four runs and seven hits in six innings.

Wolf, who is 4-4 in nine road starts in 2010, has faced Atlanta plenty of times from his days with the Philadelphia Phillies, but hasn't fared so well. In 27 career appearances, 25 of which have been starts, the southpaw is 4-12 with a 5.31 ERA against the Braves.

The Braves have won five straight and seven of their last eight versus the Brewers, including a three-game sweep at Milwaukee from May 10-12.
