Descalso hits HR, Cards beat reeling Braves, 8-2

Sports

May 28th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

ATLANTA (AP) – Lance Lynn joined Philadelphia’s Cole Hamels as the major leagues’ first eight-game winners, and the St. Louis Cardinals’ extended the Atlanta Braves’ longest losing streak in two years to eight games with an 8-2 victory Monday. Lynn (8-1) allowed two runs and five hits in seven innings. While he was dominating the Braves, Hamels pitched the Phillies to an 8-4 win at the Mets. Atlanta is on its worst skid since the Braves lost nine in a row from April 21-29, 2010. The Braves have given up seven runs or more in four straight games. Daniel Descalso hit a two-run homer as a fill-in starter at third base for David Freese, who was given a day off with a mild sprain of his right hand. The Cards and the Braves face off again Tuesday. Pre-game on KJAN is at 5:15, with the first pitch at around 6:10.

Cubs activate Marmol, send Dolis to minors

Sports

May 28th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

CHICAGO (AP) — The Cubs have activated reliever Carlos Marmol from the 15-day disabled list and optioned Rafael Dolis to Triple-A Iowa. Manager Dale Sveum says Marmol will be used in a setup role and not as the closer, a job he lost to Dolis this month. Marmol then went on the DL because of a strained right hamstring on May 12. He was 0-1 with a 6.35 ERA in 15 appearances this season and had two blown saves in four chances before Monday’s game against San Diego. Dolis wasn’t much better with a 2-4 record, 5.68 ERA and four saves in six chances.
