Passes Dale Murphy for most homers by an Atlanta Brave, hitting 2 (one from
each side of the plate for the first time in one game in 7 years)

Not sure how that got sent before I finished. He now has 372. His last one
came left-handed; it looked almost effortless, not his usual silky smooth
swing from that side of the plate but more like he stuck his bat out there
and the ball magically went a really long way.

In further news, Andruw continues to flail away. He did hit fly balls to
dead away center (missed a grand slam HR by a foot, instead being a SF) and
to deep right-center. I hate to jinx him, but it looked like he kept his
left shoulder tucked in on both of those swings and didn't try to swing so
damn hard. I think his pathetic hitting streak ended, but he might be
starting to swing like Good Andruw; we'll see.
