Smoltz and O's
John Smoltz is doing a good job today helping Atlanta go for the sweep of the Orioles. He's retired the first 12 batters he's faced, and he's not even striking them out. Throwing only 10 pitches an inning, the O's are putting the ball in play and making outs. Six of the twevle outs were in the air, five ground outs and 1 K.
Update: Smoltz ends up with a complete game five-hitter, allowing just one run. He struck out six over the last five innings and didn't walk a batter. Andruw Jones continues his hot June home run hitting with his 24th on the season and 12th of the month.

Hey David, the Braves broadcasters said that before the 9th inning, Smoltz had not gone to a 3-ball count on any batter. I think he had a least one in the ninth.
