ATLANTA (AP) - The Atlanta Braves completed a perfect homestand
the hard way, taking their first one-run victory of the season in
the bottom of the ninth.
Matt Diaz hit a bases-loaded single to drive in the winning run
and the Braves beat the San Diego Padres 5-4 Thursday for their
sixth straight win, all at home.
The Braves had been 0-9 in one-run games. They won despite
trailing 4-1 after five innings.
The Padres, who lost their fourth straight, committed three
errors that led to four unearned runs.
