Dodgers 4, Braves 2

Ted Lilly pitched seven shutout innings to pick up his first win of the season as the host Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Atlanta Braves 4-2 on Monday.

Lilly (1-2) allowed four hits, two walks and struck out six, and didn't allow a runner past second base. Lilly's ERA dropped nearly two runs to 4.09.

The Dodgers jumped on Atlanta starter Tim Hudson (2-2) early when they pushed across three runs in the first on singles by Matt Kemp and James Loney.

Loney finished 2 for 4 with two RBIs, and snapped a 0-for-11 streak that had spanned three games.

Juan Uribe scored on a sacrifice fly by Jerry Sands in the third to make it 4-0.

Atlanta scored twice in the ninth, but reliever Jonathan Broxton eventually shut the door as the Dodgers won their second straight.
