Loading ...Coming from polar opposite ends of production, B.J. Upton and Dan Uggla each hit their first homers of the spring as the Atlanta Braves coasted to a 6-1 over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday at Champion Stadium.
Upton hit his homer – his first in an Atlanta uniform – in the fourth inning off Doug Fister. Through his first seven games, he's been red hot with a .368 average and three doubles.
Uggla, meanwhile, came into the game having struck out in seven of his last 11 at-bats. He's still just 3-for-21 in Grapefruit League play, but he cranked a homer in the sixth inning off Duane Below.
Mike Minor also turned out a solid outing over his three innings of work. He gave up one hit and one walk while fanning three batters.
Juan Francisco brought his Grapefruit League average to .333 with a single and a double, furthering his cause to become Atlanta's starting third baseman. Chris Johnson has provided him with some stiff competition so far though with a .313 average.
"Because Jesus was made like us and because He died for us, He rescues us from sin and death and restores us to be the people God originally intended us to be."
