Braves Score Late to Beat Red Sox, 6-5
Jason Giambi did all he could to help his team prevail. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Boston Red Sox from losing the game, 6-5, to the Atlanta Braves in 13 innings at Turner Field. Giambi went 3 for 6 with 2 home runs and a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Cliff Politte snagged the win in relief. He goes to 5-0 on the season. Danny Graves suffered the loss. The win puts Atlanta at 53-40 this season.

The Braves got a clutch hit from pinch hitter Adam LaRoche. In the bottom of the 13th, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Braves.

"Walking a team off at the end -- there's no greater feeling," said LaRoche.
