Atlanta Evens the Series
San Diego, California

Associated Press

Atlanta escaped with a win today. Tommy Hanson gave Atlanta a solid 7 innings, giving up 5 hits and 2 runs before coming out for new signing McLemore. McLemore struggled in his first game since missing all of the previous two seasons, going 1 inning, giving up 2 hits and 1 run.

Wagner picked up his first win of the season for Atlanta going 1 and 1/3 innings, continuing his streak of scoreless innings this season. A change in the lineup seemed to benefit Mekly Cabrera, who raised his batting average to .240 in this game. Cabrerea was moved to the 6th batting spot and Yunel was slotted to hit leadoff. Yunel was fairly solid, with 2 RBI and a home run from the leadoff position. He did, however, leave 4 on base, something Atlanta continues to struggle with this season.

The Braves continued to play the role of comeback kids with this latest win, tying it up 3-3 in the top of the 9th before going on to win in the 10th on a Nate McLouth walk.

The Braves and Padres will finish up their series tomorrow. Atlanta will send Tim Hudson to the mound for his second start of the year.
