Sheffield Slugs Braves to 14-5 Win
The Atlanta Braves handed the Los Angeles Dodgers a loss at Dodger Stadium. The final score was 14-5. Major production was provided by Gary Sheffield for Atlanta. In addition to his 2 singles and 2 home runs, he scored 4 runs and drove in 2. He also added 1 walk. The winning streak has now reached 4 games for the Braves.

Marcus Giles had a big 2-run double for the Braves in the top of the first inning. With Atlanta leading 1-0 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from 30-year old left-handed pitcher Glendon Rusch and swatted a double to left-center. It was his 27th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Braves ahead, 3-0.

"It's still just a game," said Giles, "whether you win or lose."
