Atlanta Beats Colorado, Goes to 8-5
Due in large part to left fielder Gary Sheffield, the Atlanta Braves sunk the Colorado Rockies, 4-3. Sheffield was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Atlanta pitcher Cliff Politte earned the win, hiking his record to 1-0. A.J. Burnett suffered the loss. The Rockies drop to 4-9, as their fitful start to the 2005 campaign continues.

Sheffield had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the seventh. On a 1-1 fastball from A.J. Burnett, he banged a 2-run home run to right-center, giving the Braves a 4-2 lead. It was the 5th home run of the year for Sheffield.

"Both teams played hard," said Atlanta manager Chris White.
