In 8 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 2, walking 2, and allowing 1 run.

Rich Page chipped in for Atlanta with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the third. For the game, the left fielder had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 2 runs batted in.

"Feels good to get the job done," Page said after the game.
