Atlanta Braves news and links: Hector Olivera is progressing well so far in spring

Bud Norris recorded his second consecutive positive start of the spring, as he went three innings and only gave up one run over those three frames. It was a good day for Braves pitchers in general, and this included a nice bounce-back appearance from Lucas Sims as well. Meanwhile, Jeff Francoeur hit a two-run homer that gave the Braves the lead that they wouldn't relinquish against the Marlins.

Hector Olivera had his first extra-base hit of spring during yesterday's victory over the Marlins. The hit was actually his 10th of the spring (with a line of 10-21 so far), and he's currently leading the Braves in hits so far.
