A three-run pinch-homer by Jeff Burroughs in the ninth inning rallied the Braves to a 7-6 triumph over the Dodgers. The Braves were behind, 6-4, when Biff Pocoroba drew a leadoff walk and Brian Asselstine singled. One out later, Burroughs drove the ball into the left field seats. [The Sporting News]
