18 starts in a row the braves HAVE won !!!
9/3/12:
Medlen struck out a career high 12 to win his sixth straight decision and lead Atlanta to a 6-1 win over the Colorado Rockies on Monday.
Medlen (7-1) allowed five hits without a walk in his second complete game of the season.
Manager Fredi Gonzalez said Medlen had the same innings limit as Washington's Stephen Strasburg.
Strasburg has thrown 156 1-3 innings and has only two more starts. Medlen has thrown only 104 innings and will be available if the Braves, the NL wild-card leader, make the playoffs.
''It was all limits to innings,'' Gonzalez said Monday when asked about the decision on Medlen's role. ''It was basically the number that Strasburg is facing right now, 160 to 170, because they both were coming off the Tommy John surgery.
''Where do we want that 160 to 170 to end? Do we want it to end in October or do we want it to end in August?''
Medlen extended his streak of scoreless innings to 34 2-3 - the Braves' longest since Greg Maddux in 2000 - before the Rockies scored an unearned run in the seventh. He threw 111 pitches, including 85 strikes.
''He was terrific,'' said Colorado manager Jim Tracy. ''And he's been terrific for a while.
''He had three pitches for strikes whenever he wanted them. Unfortunately, with the way he's been throwing the ball, we pretty much put him in a rocking chair right from the outset.''
Medlen appeared in 38 games in relief before moving into the rotation on July 31. He is 6-0 with a 0.54 ERA in seven starts. He spent most of 2011 on the disabled list recovering from elbow ligament-replacement surgery on Aug. 18. 2010.
