Braves Edge Dodgers 4-3

ATLANTA (AP) – Chris Johnson drove in two runs, Alex Wood overcame control problems on a hot night and the Atlanta Braves beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3 on Tuesday night.

The Braves, who had lost seven of nine overall, improved to 18-6 at home in games decided by two runs or fewer.

It was a tough evening for the NL West-leading Dodgers, who have lost consecutive games for the first time since June 22-23 at the Chicago Cubs.

Los Angeles starter Brett Anderson left the game in the third after irritating his left Achilles tendon.

Reliever Chin-hui Tsao (1-1) gave up two hits, one run, one walk and struck out two in 1 1/3 innings.

Wood (7-6) won for just the second time in seven starts at home. He gave up three runs and six hits in 6 2/3 innings.
