Taking advantage of seven walks and four Los Angeles errors, the Braves blasted the Dodgers, 9-1, as Tommy Boggs, who hadn't won a game since April 21, snapped his nine-game losing skein with three-hit pitching over the first six innings. Gene Garber finished up to earn his first save. Chris Chambliss cracked a two-run homer for the Braves in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
