It took only one inning for the Giants to get to Tommy Hanson.
Giants Vs. Braves, NLDS Game 2: Giants Strike First With Pat Burrell’s 3-Run Home Run
The Braves starter, making his first career postseason start, allowed a bloop hit from Freddy Sanchez and awarded a walk to Buster Posey. Then, with two out, Pat Burrell hit his fifth career postseason to home run to left field, and the Giants lead 3-0 after an inning.
This is a Braves squad that’s demonstrated its ability to erase deficits many times this season, but it’s never good to give a three-run first-inning lead in the sort of hostile playoff environment the Braves presently find themselves in.
