C.C. Sabathia recorded his second win, yielding four runs and eight hits over seven hits with no walks and nine strikeouts.

Andruw Jones belted a three-run homer in the top of the sixth inning, when the Braves scored four runs to erase a 4-0 deficit. Jones, the Braves' starting center fielder, also committed an error in his two-inning stint at shortstop.
