Braves 4, Mets 0

Found August 10, 2012 on Fox Sports:
PLAYERS: Paul Maholm,  Jason Heyward,  Dan Uggla,  Matt Harvey,  Josh Edgin,  Chipper Jones
TEAMS: Atlanta Braves,  New York Mets
Paul Maholm pitched a three-hitter in his second start for Atlanta and the Braves got two-run homers from Jason Heyward and Dan Uggla to beat the New York Mets 4-0 Friday night. Heyward connected in the first inning to help spoil Matt Harvey's home debut with the Mets. Uggla went deep in the eighth off reliever Josh Edgin as Atlanta won for the 13th time in 16 games. The Braves played their first in a stretch of 20 straight games, this one without Chipper Jones. The All-Star third baseman said he was out with back tightness caused by the bed in his New York hotel room.

Paul Maholm Steps Right Up and Beasts the Mets

Via RotoStars.com  |  August 10, 2012
In his second start since being traded to the Atlanta Braves, Paul Maholm shut out the Mets on Friday night, allowing just 3 hits and walking none while striking out 5.   Maholm, who had faced the minimum through 5.1 innings, needed just 95 pitches to go the distance for his 4th career shutout. He now has a 3.50 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP on the season, both of which would be career bests...

NEW YORK -- Atlanta Braves catcher David Ross was a little concerned when starting pitcher Paul Maholm seemed to labor during his pregame bullpen Friday.

Metstradamus The Grouch

Via Metstradamus  |  August 11, 2012
Bad enough that Paul Maholm and his 87 mph fastball and his la-de-da slider made the Mets look like a JV high school squad tonight as he threw a complete game three-hit shutout while only throwing 36 pitches (95, if you're into accuracy). Bad enough that Matt Harvey couldn't get rewarded for pulling it together after a rough start chocked full of walks and giving up only...

In just his fourth career Major League start, rookie sensation Matt Harvey took the mound Friday night for his first career home start in Citi Field. Many of his family and friends were in attendance as he was set to give the home crowd some good first impressions. Those impressions, however, did not come about in the first inning.

Uggla comes to the rescue in win over Philly

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Dan Uggla hit a tiebreaking three-run double in the seventh after Tim Hudson blew a five-run lead and the Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies 12-6 Wednesday night. Ryan Howard's three-run homer off Hudson during a five-run fifth tied it at 6, but the wild card-leading Braves scored four runs after Antonio Bastardo (2-4) got the first two outs in...

The Mets look to improve off of yesterdays win as the suddenly extremely successful Braves come into town.

Cubs' offense goes south during 1-11 stretch

There are new faces all over Wrigley Field, but the results are starting to have an old, familiar look. And that's not good. The Chicago Cubs fell 3-0 to the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. And while many observers felt pitching would be a problem after the trades of Ryan Dempster and Paul Maholm and the elbow injury to Matt Garza, it's the hitting that's been the biggest...

Mets vs. Braves: Series Preview

Via Mets Merized Online  |  August 10, 2012
It would be an understatement to say the Mets have been disappointing so far in the second half. It’s time to see what’s in store for them this weekend against the Braves. This is a series between two teams going in completely different directions. The Braves are playing some of their best baseball of the series, going 12-3 over their last 15 games. What about those Mets? Well...
