Braves 9, Padres 1
The Braves avoided the sweep by the Padres with an offensive outburst that spurred them to a 9-1 victory. Atlanta had six singles in their five run second inning which staked them to an early 5-0 lead. Adam LaRoche added a homerun in the sixth while Matt Diaz, Omar Infante and Reid Gorecki all produced RBI singles in the win.
Javier Vazquez, meanwhile, held San Diego scoreless over seven innings and even provided an RBI-single to help him break a personal two-game losing streak.
