If the Braves somehow find a way to make it into the playoffs, they might want to send a thank-you note to Hugo the barber in Miami. Matt Diaz will.
Diaz, sporting a fresh haircut by Dolphin Stadium's resident barber, continued his inexplicable mastery of Florida pitching with two homers and a double in the Braves' badly needed 7-4 win against the Marlins on Wednesday night."I wish he had enough at-bats -- he'd lead the league in hitting," manager Bobby Cox said after his Braves came away with a 2-1 series win to salvage something from an otherwise disappointing road trip in which they lost six of 10 games.
They cut a game off New York's lead in the National League East, but the third-place Braves are still five games behind the Mets and two behind Philadelphia with 28 left in the season.
The Braves are off today before hosting a big three-game weekend series against the Mets at Turner Field, a series that is scheduled to feature another John Smoltz vs. Tom Glavine matchup in Sunday's finale.
"You always have to have confidence," said Braves pitcher Buddy Carlyle (8-5), who limited the Marlins to three runs and four hits in five innings to snap his three-start slump. "You never know -- there's still a lot of games left."
