They i the Braves) are kind of like
us. They've had a lot of injuries and
their lineup has changed They had
three guys I have never seen
before," Ryan said. "It's (still) hard
to get enough runs in this ballpark.”
Ashby 's sixth-inning double came
with two outs and the score tied for
the third tune Phil Garner, who had
homered in the fourth, and Glen
Davis singled, chasing Atlanta
starter Steve Shields. 1-1. Ashby
greeted Jeff Dedmon with a drive to
center, scoring Gamer
Shields said he was hampered by a
cut finger on his pitching hand that
began to bleed in the second inning
"It got worse and worse and I kept
wiping the blood off it," Shields said
When you try to compensate for not
having velocity, you get behind (in
the count) Then they wait for your
fastball and beat your brains out. "

Braves' first with a triple and two
outs later scored on a double by
Homer

singled and scored on a triple by
Homer
Following Harper's run-scoring
single in the third, the Braves loaded
the bases on a walk to Ken Oberkfell.
But Ryan prevented any further
scoring by staking out Larry Owen
"We had ample opportunities to
win the ballgame," Homer said.
We had runners in scoring position
but we didn't capitalize on many of
them When you're struggling like
we are, that's when you need to take
advantage of any scoring oppor-
tunities. but we haven't been doing
that lately ”
