The Braves will start Derek Lowe in Game 1 of their first-round series against the Giants this week. Atlanta manager Bobby Cox said Lowe, Tommy Hanson and Tim Hudson will be the team's first three starters against San Francisco. Lowe was 5-0 with a 1.17 ERA in his last five starts. "If he throws like he's been throwing his last five starts, he'll pitch a great ballgame," Cox said.
