Dodgers Defeat Firebirds, 9-2
The Dodgers earned a hard-fought, 9-2 win in 10 innings at SunTrust Park. To do so required withstanding a fine effort from Atlanta pitcher Simon Mercedes. Mercedes went 6.2 innings and allowed no runs. Spike Henry snagged the win in relief. He goes to 2-4 on the season. Curt Wilkerson suffered the loss. Atlanta drops to 9-23.

Los Angeles used the clutch hitting of Yasiel Puig to capture the win. The left fielder drilled a 2-run double in the top of the tenth inning to give the Dodgers the lead, 3-1. For the game, Puig had 1 single and 1 double in 6 at-bats.

"Our team found a way to get it done," said Puig.
