Dodgers Fall to Braves 6-1

by @ 9:50 am. Filed under 2008 Dodgers

The Dodgers lost their first game of the series with the Braves last night.

Starter Derek Lowe didn’t make it out of the fourth inning, giving up 5 runs (3 earned) on 8 hits. Lowe gave up one homerun to Chipper Jones in the fifth, who later homered again off Chan Ho Park in the seventh.

The offense couldn’t get their bats going against Braves starter Jeff Bennett. The only run scored was batted in Juan Pierre who came in to pinch-hit. Andruw Jones went 1 for 3 with 2 strikeouts in his first time back at Turner Field in a Dodgers uniform.

The Dodgers and Braves play an afternoon game at 1pm today, with Chad Billingsley facing Chuck James. Both pitchers are looking for their first win of the season.
