Braves Sneak Past Diamondbacks, 9-8
The Arizona Diamondbacks got a superb performance from center fielder Elijah Dukes. Still, it wasn't enough to beat Atlanta. The Braves won the game, 9-8. Dukes went 2 for 5 with 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice. Atlanta reliever Ben Pfinsgraff picked up the win, upping his record to 2-0. Jeff Karstens was saddled with the loss. Yohan Flande recorded the save, his 11th.

Corey Hart took Jeff Karstens deep in the bottom of the eighth. His 3-run home run put the Braves on top, 9-8. In all, Hart had 2 singles in addition to the home run, while going 3 for 5.

Hart expressed little emotion after the game. "Every game we win now," he said, "is one less win we'll need to get in the end."

The win puts the Braves at 21-15, while the Diamondbacks drop to 18-19.
