Atlanta (Sports Network) - Martin Prado's game-winning single in the
bottom of the ninth helped Atlanta avoid being swept in a three-game set
for the first time all season, in a 4-3 victory over Los Angeles.
The Braves and NL East-leading Phillies are the only two clubs in the majors
which have yet to suffer a series sweep of three or more games in 2011.
Craig Kimbrel (4-2) earned the win with a scoreless top of the ninth. Randall
Delgado started the game in place of an injured Jair Jurrjens and allowed
three runs on four hits and three walks through five innings.
Blake Hawksworth (2-5) allowed the game-deciding run to take the loss. Clayton
Kershaw lasted seven innings, allowing three runs -- one earned -- on eight
hits and no walks while fanning 10 in the start for LA.
Matt Kemp's three-run homer accounted for all of the Dodgers' runs as Los
Angeles had its season-high six-game win streak snapped.
