Braves Hold Off Pirates, 6-5
The Atlanta Braves topped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-5, in NL action at Turner Field. The standout performance belonged to Atlanta pitcher and Kentfield, California, native Bud Norris. The Pirates, now 4-8, continue their inauspicious start.

In the bottom of the fifth, Atlanta shortstop Omar Infante had a productive at-bat. With runners on 1st and 2nd and one out, Infante stroked a run-scoring single to left-center. It made the score 6-2, Atlanta. For the game, he went 2 for 4 with 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs.

"Nice to get this one," said Infante. "Wins have been hard to come by."
