Man against boys

That's how DOB described Tommy Hanson's outing Wednesday. The phenom struck out nine in five innings, allowing one run, one walk and three hits. 

He’s now 4-0 in the AFL with an 0.76 ERA. In 23-2/3 innings pitched, Hanson's allowed only nine hits, two runs and five walks, striking out 39. 

Meanwhile, Tyler Flowers hit another homer, and DOB says the Padres are trying to talk Frank Wren into substituting him for Gorkys. The Braves are reluctant, and should be. Power-hitting catchers are a rare breed.
