Marlins seek sweep of Braves

Apr 24, 2008 - 2:09 PM Florida (13-8) at Atlanta (10-11) 7:00 pm EDT

ATLANTA (Ticker) - Burke Badenhop and the Florida Marlins look to complete a two-game series sweep of the Atlanta Braves on Thursday.

Hanley Ramirez opened Wednesday's the contest with a home run and Mike Jacobs belted a two-run homer to lift the Marlins to a 7-2 win over the Braves.

Badenhop (0-1, 7.00 ERA) goes in search of his first career win after giving up three runs and four hits with five walks in a no-decision against Washington on Saturday.

The righthander is making his third big league start and first against the Braves, who have lost three of four meetings to the Marlins this season.

Atlanta counters with Chuck James (1-1, 7.87), who owns a 3-1 record with a 1.19 ERA in five career appearances - four starts - against Florida.

The lefthander was able to pick up his first win of the season when he yielded one run and four hits through five innings in a 4-1 triumph over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Despite James' domination in the series, Marlins outfielder Cody Ross is 3-of-7 with two homers lifetime against the 27-year-old.
