Braves Brace for Justice Loss in Home Opener
Braves right fielder David Justice reinjured his ankle fouling off a pitch and left in Los Angeles. He will be X-rayed and likely miss Tuesday's home opener against San Francisco. Tony Tarasco would start in right if Justice is out. The Braves sit 7-0 entering the opener. In Houston, Bobby Bonilla dislocated his left shoulder but expects no season-ending damage and will wear a sling as doctors evaluate daily.

Texas League fires two no hitters on Sunday
The Texas League saw two no hitters Sunday. In Tulsa Oklahoma Kevin Gallaher and Jamie Daspit combined for a seven inning no hitter as the Jackson Generals shutout the Tulsa Drillers 3 0. In Shreveport Louisiana Rigo Beltran struck out six and walked two in a no hitter as the Arkansas Travelers beat the Shreveport Captains 2 0. Gallaher fanned nine and allowed no hits across six frames while Caspit retired the lone batter in the seventh. It was the Generals first no hitter since 1982 and Arkansas benefited from solo homers by Joe Biassuci and Andy Bruce.
