Third baseman Darrell Evans hit a homerun and had 4 RBI as the Atlanta Braves
man-handled the Los Angeles Dodgers - the final score was 13 to 2.
 
Evans enjoyed a big day at the plate.  He laced a single scoring a run in the
1st inning and belted a three-run homer (his 8th of the season) in the 2nd
inning.  Atlanta out-hit Los Angeles for the game, 19 hits to 10.  
 
The win was credited to George Stone(7-4) who went 7 innings allowing 2 runs.
Doyle Alexander(2-1) absorbed the loss.  For Atlanta the victory was a
welcome one, indeed.  They had been struggling in their last ten games with a
disappointing 2-8 record.  With the loss, the Los Angeles ballclub's record
is 54-39.
