Braves Upend Devil Rays, 3-2
The Atlanta Braves did just enough to sneak past the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, 3-2, at Tropicana Field. Atlanta pitcher Ryan Rupe, in particular, had a standout performance. Keith Foulke earned the save for Atlanta, his 32nd of the year. The win makes Atlanta 79-56.

Herb Patterson came through with a big-time hit for Atlanta. The catcher smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to give his team the lead, 3-1. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

Patterson called the win a test of his team's "mettle."
