Challenge date > Monday, Sep 06, 2010
Challenge place > PNC Park
With their lead down to one game, the Braves look to rebound from a rough series as they begin a three-game set at PNC Park on Monday. Burres makes his first start since yielding four runs in a 6-3 loss at Atlanta on May 29. That was his final appearance prior to a June 4 demotion to Triple-A Indianapolis. Atlanta has won eight of 11 versus Pittsburgh. The right-hander had been 0-5 since his last victory July 3, posting a 3.08 ERA over an 11-start span but receiving 14 runs of support, before finally getting back in the win column Wednesday. He pitched seven innings of one-run ball to beat New York 4-1. Pirates second baseman looks to extend his hitting streak to 13 after going 3 for 5 on Sunday. He is batting .415 with four homers and 14 RBIs during that stretch. “A loss is a loss,” catcher told the Braves’ official web site.
