Paul Maholm had a pretty bad day on the mound, but the offense gave him enough support so he could earn the win and move his record to 10-10. He struggled through five innings and gave up three runs on six hits and walked three batters. Luis Ayala then pitched a perfect inning in the sixth. Scott Downs struggled for his first time as a Brave, as he gave up two runs on four hits while recording only one out. David Carpenter relieved him and ended up pitching an inning and two-thirds and didn't allow anyone to get on base. Luis Avilan then pitched a perfect ninth inning while striking out two batters.
