The Atlanta Braves secured its first win of Spring Training against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Tommy Hanson looked incredible through his first outing of the campaign, pitching a perfect 3 innings. This would be 5 innings of no hit ball for the Braves, until Derek Lowe came in to the game in the 6th to make his second appearance of the young preseason.

"Our pitching and bats all came together today," says manager Bobby Cox, "everyone looked real good out there. Its good to see the boys looking this good so early."

Chipper Jones continued his hot streak, hitting his third home run so far. Martin Prado also went yard.

Closer Billy Wagner picked up his first save in his first opportunity, striking out 2. "I felt good out there," Billy tells reporters after the game, "I know this isn't the regular season, but my arm feels great."

The Braves are now 1-2.
