Palm Beach Post: Braves’ power prevails against Marlins

Chipper Jones, Mark Teixeira and Brian McCann connected for consecutive home runs off Ricky Nolasco as part of a five-home run assault on the Marlins.

“It’s tough when you put your team down so quick like that,” Nolasco said. “It’s tough for any team to come back from something like that.”
...
Facing Jones [in the fifth], Nolasco went ahead 0-2 in the count before the Braves’ third baseman sent a drive into the right-field seats.

The next batter, Teixeira, worked the count to 2-2 before he sent a Nolasco fastball into the same area.

McCann capped the surge with a long home run to center that made the score 6-0.
...
The last time a Marlins pitcher allowed three straight home runs was April 27, 2004, at Colorado, when Darren Oliver gave up homers to Jeromy Burnitz, Charles Johnson and Matt Holliday.

I don't think it's possible to dominate a team more than the braves did last night. Too bad they still lead us by a ton of games in the division.

Nolasco gave up nine hits, all for extra bases -- 4 doubles, 1 triple, 4 homers.

Got to be close to a MLB record for most hits given up without giving up a single.

Typical Braves game and series for the last 2 years. For the game, an output that should have produced 15 runs, and not 8. For the series, they pound the crap out of the marlins, and lose 2 out of 3.
