Back to Back Braves
Mark Teixeira and Brian McCann hit back-to-back home runs in the fourth inning to put the Braves up 4-0 on the Seattle Mariners. For Teixeira, it's the second home run of the game. The Braves first baseman is suffering a power outage this season. Even with those long balls, his slugging percentage is just .454, over 100 points lower than 2007 and about 70 points below his career average. That's going to make him a lot less desirable as a free agent next winter.
Update: Teixeira adds a third home run, this time a two-run shot in the seventh. It's his second three home run game, the first came against the Orioles on 7/13/2006.
