text: The Braves, who began the day with a 71/2-game lead in the NL wild-card standings, put just one runner in scoring position through the first six innings against Clayton Kershaw.
  The Dodgers had a 3-0 lead when Alex Gonzalez singled and moved to third on Jack Wilsonís single. Miles fielded Costanzaís hard grounder cleanly, but his wide throw allowed Gonzalez to score and ruined a potential double play.
  Wilson and Costanza moved up on a wild pitch and scored on Brooks Conradís broken-bat single, tying it at 3.
  Kershaw, who was attempting to tie Arizonaís Ian Kennedy for the NL lead with his 18th victory, allowed three runs, two earned, and 10 hits in seven innings. He struck out 10 and walked none.
  Kershaw threw 84 of 115 pitches for strikes in his first career start at Turner Field. The left-hander was 4-0 with a sparkling 0.58 ERA in his previous four outings.
  ěI definitely felt like I had good stuff, some of the better stuff Iíve had all year,î Kershaw said. ěI had command of all three pitches. In the seventh, I left some (pitches) up. Wilson was a hanger and with Gonzalez I got behind in the count.î
  Matt Kemp went deep for the Dodgers, hitting a three-run drive with two out in the third for his 32nd homer.
