Fast Start Upshaw Shines In Braves Relief Role
Cecil Upshaw, a top Gremen pitcher, opens the season strong with a 5-1 record as Atlanta relief ace. He never starts, but finishes games tied or ahead, and could log many wins as the Braves lack a deep rotation. Upshaw recovered from a finger injury last year and is glad to be back, while fans note his early dominance. The column also references a Knicks Bucks debate and a fishing report from Gene's Minny Mart detailing crappies, bass, northerns, and lake access.
