Starting pitcher Azael Alvarez gave the Atlanta Braves a rock-solid effort. The Monclova, Mexico native helped his team defeat the Texas Rangers, 3-1, at The Ballpark in Arlington. The 20th-place Rangers now sit at 57-70.

Jeff Kent, who finished 3rd in the VBL in hits with 200 in 2001, helped out the Atlanta cause in the top of the eighth inning with a run-scoring double. For the game, the first baseman was 1-3 with a double and was hit by a pitch.

"I like what I saw today," said Atlanta manager Chris White, "and I can't wait to get back out there and do it again."
