Atlanta 7, Reds 0
After a rocky start, Tommy Hanson was able to get himself out of jams in the first and second inning, while keeping the Reds scoreless in the Braves first win in five games. . Hanson added an RBI – his first major league RBI – to an impressive six inning shut out performance to pick up his second win in three starts.
Nate McLouth and Matt Diaz picked up the slack for the Braves offense. McLouth registered his best start as a Brave, driving in four runs including a two run homer in the fifth inning, while Diaz added a solo homerun in the third.
The Braves hope to carry their momentum into a tough series with the Boston Red Sox at Fenway this weekend.
