Good news, bad news

The good news is, the Dodgers haven’t failed even once tonight to come through with runners in scoring position. The bad news is, they haven’t HAD a runner in scoring position. Tim Hudson is taking them to school so far, facing the minimum through three (he picked off Juan Pierre after a first-inning single). Braves scratched out an unearned run in the third when Jeff Kent bobbled a Chipper Jones grounder that would have been the final out of the inning. Other than that, Derek Lowe has cruised, allowing a hit and what turned out to be a costly walk. Furcal just led off the fourth by beating out a slow roller. Braves 1, Dodgers 0, top 4
