Braves Sneak Past Rockies, 6-5
The Atlanta Braves topped the Colorado Rockies, 6-5, at Coors Field. Atlanta first baseman Esteban Armelini was a spark plug for the offense. He was 2 for 2 with a home run and 2 walks. Jared Burton finished the game for Atlanta and earned his 9th save. The Braves sit in 4th place in the NL Central Division with a record of 43-51.

Atlanta used a timely hit from Luis Constante to get the win. The left fielder stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Braves ahead, 6-5. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"Anytime you're seeing it well, it's a good feeling," Armelini told the Atlanta Times.
