Late Rally by Braves Locks Up 4-2 Win
The Atlanta Braves and Cleveland Guardians played an exciting game.

Cleveland left fielder Curtis Granderson had a good game in a losing cause. His team fell, 4-2, to Atlanta at Turner Field. Granderson was 3-3 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Keith Foulke earned the save, his 20th in 22 tries.

Rafael Furcal went 2 for 3 with 2 singles and a walk for Atlanta. The fan favorite had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With one out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Richard Dobson. It was his 10th RBI of the season.

Atlanta manager Chris White was pleased with the team's effort. "It was just a good, gutsy performance by everybody," he said.

Their 44-34 record puts the Braves 8th in the Virtual Baseball League.
