Yasmani Grandal's return to Dodgers lineup is hardly fouled up

Yasmani Grandal returned to the Dodgers lineup Wednesday, three days after his catcher's mask was violently struck by a foul ball.

He was a central figure in the team's 3-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves, as he was two for three with a run and a walk.

"It kind of got me back in the groove," Grandal said.

The Dodgers trailed, 1-0, until the fifth inning, which Grandal led off with a double against starter Julio Teheran.

Grandal advanced to third base on a groundout by Carl Crawford and scored on a single by Alberto Callaspo to tie the score, 1-1.
