Atlanta Braves preview: the pivotal game three

THUS FAR: Game one came as a disappointment as the Atlanta Braves lost to the St. Louis Cardinals 7-6. The Braves carried 3-1 lead into the 8th inning until the Cardinals rallied for 2 runs in the 8th and 4 runs in the 9th.

The eighth inning was supposed to be pitched by deadline acquisition Chris Martin. However, after one warm-up throw on the mound, he immediately pointed to the dugout for the trainer.

He proceeded to be removed from the game for what was later released as an oblique strain.
