A PAIR OF HOME RUNS: OF Nick Swisher stroked a two-run home run (1-2 count) to the left-field bleachers in the second frame yesterday...two innings later, he drilled a two-out, two-run shot (1-0 count), again to the left-field bleachers, for his 21st career multi-home run game and his first since hitting two on September 15, LEFT, THEN RIGHT: Swisher s first home run came off Cubs right-handed pitcher Dan Haren as a left-handed batter, while he hit his second homer of the game as a right-handed hitter off lefty Travis Wood marking the 14th time in his career he has homered from both sides of the plate...swisher shares the lead for the most career games in Major League history with home runs from each side of the plate with NYY s Mark Teixeira. AVOIDING THE SWEEP: A loss today would mark the sixth time this season the Braves have been swept in a series, including the second in a four-game set (July 9-12 at Colorado)...The last time the Cubs completed a four-game sweep of the Braves came nearly 50 years ago, August 19-21, 1968, at Wrigley Field (doubleheader on 8/21)...ONE OF EACH KIND: Should the Braves lose today, the team would be swept in three consecutive road series, including a two-gamer (8/11-12 at TB), a three-gamer (8/17-19 at SD) and this four-gamer...losing ROAD TRIP: The last time the Braves did not secure at least one win during a road trip of six or more games came last season, July 29-August 26, when the Braves lost eight straight games at Los Angeles (three games), San Diego (three games) and Seattle (2 games)...streak REACHES SIX: Yesterday s loss stretched the team s losing skid to a season-high-matching six games, also July 27-August 1 at Baltimore and Philadelphia...DURING THE STREAK: During the five-game losing streak, Atlanta has been outscored and has left 44 runners on base. BRAVES OF LATE: The Braves have lost 21 of their last 29 contests and have gone just since July 8, when they entered play with a.500 record (42-42)...Atlanta currently sits in third place in the National League East division, 13.5 games behind New York. NOT SEVENTH HEAVEN: The Braves offense erupted for seven runs yesterday, but suffered a 9-7 defeat at Wrigley Field...Yesterday s loss was the Braves fifth defeat this season when the team has plated seven or more runs...the overall record in such situation is 14-5 and all five of the losses have each been decided by two runs or less...high FIVE: The Braves yesterday posted their ninth contest that included at least one inning in which the team plated at least five runs, however the loss lowered their overall record in such games to 5-4. MILLER S WINLESS STREAK: Friday s starting pitcher Shelby Miller registered a quality start at Wrigley Field, having allowed three earned runs in 6.1 innings, but it was not enough to snap his winless streak as the Cubs defeated the Braves, Miller, who represented the Braves at this year s All Star Game, has not earned a win in any of his last 17 starts...that s the longest streak of consecutive starts without a win for a pitcher who was selected for that season s All-Star Game...Nolan Ryan had previously held that mark, going 13 starts without a win in 1983 for the Astros...17 STRAIGHT: Since the team moved to Atlanta in 1966, the only pitcher before Miller to go winless in 17 consecutive starts within a single season for the Braves is Carl Morton, who started the 1976 season with 17 winless starts. RISPING WOES: Atlanta s offense went 4-for-11 with runners in scoring position yesterday, but is just 9-for-51 (.176) during the first six games of the current road trip...the Braves mark with runners in scoring position over their last 10 games (2-8 record dating to August 12) is.215 (17-for-79), the second-worst mark in the National League in that span...on the season, the Braves rank fourth in the National League with a.271 average with runners in scoring position. LEADING MAN: OF Nick Markakis went 1-for-4 from the leadoff spot yesterday to improve his batting average to.304 (38-for-125) when batting from the No. 1 spot in the lineup...on Friday, Markakis led off the game with a single to left field and came around to score the first run of the contest, and on Friday, he grounded out to leadoff last night s game, but in the eighth inning poked a single through the right side of the infield and eventually came around to score the Braves lone run in the game...leading LEADER: Markakis on-base percentage of.412 when leading off an inning ranks fourth in National League, while his batting average,.347 (41-for-118) ranks sixth.. HOT STRETCH FOR MARKAKIS: OF Nick Markakis went 1-for-4 last night and has hit safely in 25 of his last 30 games overall, going 41-for-124 (.328) over that stretch...for the season, the outfielder has 140 hits, which ranks 13th in the majors and fourth in the National League...His.366 on-base percentage ranks 10th in the senior circuit... MULTI-HIT MAN: Markakis three-hit game on Wednesday was his 10th three-hit contest and Friday was his 40th game of two or more hits which ranks tied for the 11th most in the majors and tied for fourth in the National League. HOME VS. ROAD: The Braves have gone (.571) at home this season, compared to (.318) on the road...the 46 road losses are the most in the Majors and the.313 winning percentage is last...atlanta has won 13 of its last 21 home games, while losing 21 of its last 23 road contests...bright SPOT AWAY FROM TURNER FIELD: Markakis went 1-for-4 yesterday and is batting.320 (8-for-25) during the current road trip... He road batting average of.322 (84-for-261) ranks fourth in the National League and is seventh in the Majors. TOP SHORTSTOP: Simmons, who has been involved in a Major-League-leading 90 double plays, is tied for the Major-League lead among all shortstops with a.992 fielding percentage...prior to Friday s seventh inning error, Simmons last committed an error in the ninth inning in his final chance of the game on June 15 at Boston...His errorless streak reached a span of a Major-League-leading 200 total chances among all shortstops. NO. 56 AND COUNTING: With RHP Peter Moylan s relief appearance in last Sunday s eighth inning, he became the 56th player used by the Braves this season (Moylan had his contract selected from Triple-A Gwinnett prior to yesterday s game)...according to the Elias Sports Bureau, the 56 players used so far this season is a franchise record (topping the 50 players used in 2007) and easily surpasses their total of 39 players last season.
