WEB GEMS- Top 9th: Ray Durham robbed John Mabry of a base hit.

 

Rich Harden hurled a fine complete game shutout at Jacobs Field where the

Atlanta Braves beat the Houston Astros 5 to 0.

 

Harden(5-2) had a strong outing.  He gave up just 7 hits and 1 walk in 9

innings seeing his ERA drop from 3.08 to 2.63.  Atlanta had 10 hits for the

night.  

 

The loss was charged to Rodrigo Lopez(2-3).  He allowed 5 runs and 9 hits in 7

water at the end of a drought sure does taste good!'
