Klesko Rips 2 Home Runs in 11-4 Braves Triumph
No one was more impactful than Ryan Klesko in the 11-4 Atlanta 1995 win over Los Angeles 1978. Klesko, who is tied for 7th in the NL in RBI with 53, went 3-5 with 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice. Steve Avery, the winner, improved to 6-4. He held the Dodgers to 2 runs on 4 hits over 7 innings, while striking out 6 and walking 1. Atlanta 1995 is now 32-36, Los Angeles 1978 38-28.

The Dodgers had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Braves going into the top of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 25-year old left-handed pitcher Steve Avery came to the plate. Avery hit a solo home run on a 0-2 fastball from Los Angeles 1978 hurler Bob Welch. It was Avery's 2nd home run of the year.

"We hit the ball hard," said Atlanta 1995 manager Kelly Audia. "Line drive after line drive."
