Dodgers 5, Braves 4
Atlanta closer Rafael Soriano gave up a three run homer to Andre Ethier, giving LA a walk-off victory that left the Braves shaking their heads.
The Braves jumped off to a quick two run lead in the second with two RBI singles by Matt Diaz and Adam LaRoche. Atlanta added runs in the fourth and the seventh to regain their two run lead before Soriano’s third blown save of the season.
Ethier’s walk-off dinger ruined a solid start by Derek Lowe, who was hoping to get his second victory against his former team in a week. Lowe went six and a third innings, allowing two runs while striking out two.

News&Notes: Atlanta and first round draft pick Mike Minor have agreed to a deal that will give Minor a $2.42 million bonus…Former Brave Casey Kotchman hit a two run homer in his first start with the Red Sox. He also extended his errorless streak to 154 games.
