Braves Hitters Fail To Connect In Palm Beach Show
Milwaukee fans watched as the Braves were shut out 3 0 by the St Louis Cardinals in Grapefruit League play. Bob Shaw pitched well five innings but took the loss as the Braves managed only two hits and left nine runners on base. Eddie Mathews connected in the fifth and eighth but both times were erased by double plays. Olivo and Broglio combined to blank Milwaukee with six Cardinals scoring on timely hits. The club contemplates cutting three pitchers and possibly Lou Johnson as NL opener nears.
