Baseball Betting Lines

06/05/2007 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Buddy Carlyle tossed seven brilliant innings, and Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Chris Woodward connected on back-to-back homers in the seventh inning to lead Atlanta to a 3-1 win over Florida in the front end of a day-night doubleheader at Turner Field.

Carlyle (1-1), who was making just his second career start, allowed just one run on one hit, a solo home run from Aaron Boone. The right-hander walked three and punched out five en route to winning his first major league game since 1999.

Rafael Soriano and Bob Wickman closed things out with an inning of scoreless relief apiece. Wickman earned his 10th save on the year.

Saltalamacchia finished 2-for-3 with a two-run homer for the Braves, who snapped a two-game skid and won for the fourth time in six games.

Sergio Mitre hurled five shutout innings for the Marlins, who had won two of three coming in. The starter allowed just four hits and did not walk a batter, while fanning three but was let down by his bullpen. Renyel Pinto (0-3) lost it after give up the consecutive homers.

Boone's homer was the only offense for the Marlins. Alfredo Amezaga had the only other hit in the game for Florida, a single in the ninth

Down 1-0, the Braves finally broke through off Florida's bullpen in the seventh. Jeff Francoeur led off the frame with a single off Justin Miller and the Marlins made the mistake of summoning Pinto into the game. Pinto did manage to get Scott Thorman to foul out to third but Saltalamacchia followed by lining a two-run homer over the wall in left. Woodward, a pinch-hitter, then touched Pinto for another long ball to make it a 3-1 game.

The Marlins drew first blood in the third when Boone connected on a one-out solo homer, his fourth of the year.
