Atlanta Starter Spencer Store (3-7) scored six-plus innings and conceded three runs on seven hits with one walk and six strikes. He has lost his previous two outings every time, despite starting the quality.
Oriols took a 3–0 lead in the fifth innings. O’Neel sang with one, and Sedric Mulins with his 13th Homer, put a shot in seats in the right ground.

Matt Olson of Atlanta went away for 0 -for -4, ending its line to reach the base in the direct sports of 33. It was the longest active line among big companies.
