BALTIMORE (AP) — Brian McCann tied a career high with four hits, Tommy Hanson recorded his first major league victory and the Atlanta Braves beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-2 on Friday night.
McCann's third hit, a bases-loaded single, scored Nate McLouth and gave Atlanta a 3-2 lead in the fifth inning. Garret Anderson followed with a run-scoring walk.
Hanson (1-0) struggled in his second major league start but managed to limit the Orioles to two runs despite yielding nine hits and five walks in 5 2-3 innings.
Hanson departed with the bases loaded but Peter Moylan struck out Adam Jones to end the threat. Eric O'Flaherty, Rafael Soriano and Mike Gonzalez each worked a scoreless inning to close it out.
