Dozier goes 3-for-5, Leads Braves to Win
Behind a solid performance from second baseman Brian Dozier, the Atlanta Braves defeated the Chicago Cubs, 7-3. Dozier was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 4 for the Braves. The Braves, with just their 1st win in 6 games, have played uninspired baseball so far.

In the bottom of the first, Dozier had one of his most important at-bats: a 2-run home run off Masahiro Tanaka that staked the Braves to a 2-1 lead.

In postgame comments to the Atlanta Times, Dozier said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
