With help from Joe Moeller, who relieved in the seventh inning, Alan Foster was able to end his personal four-game losing streak when the Dodgers defeated the Braves, 8-1. Foster was tagged for 11 hits, but the Braves scored only in the third when Felix Millan and Mike Lum singled and Hank Aaron hit a sacrifice fly. Moeller held the Braves hitless in the last 2 1/3 innings. [The Sporting News]
