Atlanta Braves News and Links: First win of the season

BRAVES NEWS

They did not make it look easy, but the Braves picked up their first win of the season on Wednesday behind a very strong start from Bartolo Colon and a big night at the plate from Matt Kemp. After the Braves had squandered several scoring opportunities earlier in the game, Kemp delivered a bases-loaded double that scored two and gave Atlanta a 3-1 win.

After spending three years with Mets, Bartolo Colon made his return against his former team on Wednesday and was treated like the folk hero baseball has come to love.
