Braves 4, Dodgers 1
There will be plenty of negative assessment in the coverage in tomorrow's paper, so I'll stick with the only good news here ... Andruw Jones finally has his first home run in a Dodgers uniform. He hit it with two outs in the second inning, on a changeup from Chuck James. He now has 167 career HRs at the Ted, second only to Chipper Jones, who now has 175. ... Tough day for Chad Billingsley, who managed to strike out nine of the first 18 batters he faced before the wheels came off in the fifth. This from Torre, which didn't make the paper tomorrow: ``In a lot of these games this year, we have put a lot of pressure on our pitchers because we haven't scored runs on a regular basis.'' Ya think? ... Dodgers fall to 7-10 and are now just a half-game up on the cellar-dwelling Giants in the NL West. See ya tomorrow
