| (MySportsbook) - Young lefty Jo-Jo Reyes tries again to snap out of a career-worst funk today when the Atlanta Braves host the Washington Nationals to close out a three-game series at Turner Field. Reyes, who reached the majors and was 2-2 in 11 appearances - 10 starts - for the Braves in 2007, was 2-1 this year after a 5-2 defeat of the Oakland Athletics on May 18 in Atlanta. He's won just once in 10 starts since, however, dropping seven decisions overall and four in a row. In fact, he's failed to get to |

| (MySportsbook) - Randy Wolf makes what could possibly be his last start at Petco Park in a San Diego Padres uniform when the veteran pitcher toes the rubber in this afternoon's clash with the visiting Atlanta Braves. With the Padres buried in the basement of the National League's West Division, speculation has grown that the team may attempt to trade Wolf, a free agent at season's end, prior to the July 31 non-waiver deadline. San Diego will embark on an 11-game, three-city road trip following the All-Star |

Peavy (7-5) lasted seven innings and gave up just four hits and fanned seven batters en route to the win. Trevor Hoffman earned his 17th save of the year as he struck out the final batter.

They've followed that up by dropping two of three to both the Atlanta Braves and the Pirates, the latter of which occupied last place in the National League Central for much of the season -- until now. June wasn't much better, either. This time last month, the Astros were in the midst of a stretch in which they lost eight st |
