					| Braves Pick Up 3-2 Win |  
					| In a low-scoring clash between Atlanta and Pittsburgh, pitcher Matthew Spurrell was a difference-maker. The left-hander earned accolades in the 3-2 win. Spurrell got the win, improving to 1-0. He allowed 4 hits and walked 1 over 6.2 innings. Spurrell allowed 2 runs. The Braves, now 17-4, have stormed out of the gates. 
 Erik Coleman dealt the Pirates a blow in the bottom of the third. Batting with a runner on 2nd and Atlanta leading 2-0, Coleman  hit a 1-1 slider for a run-scoring  single.
 
 Pittsburgh manager Sam Mcg Pittsburgh said he was "mildly disappointed" with the loss. "We had our opportunities, but we didn't take advantage of them," he said.
