Anderson sharp, Olson homers as Braves beat Padres 5-2

SAN DIEGO — Ian Anderson pitched one-run ball into the sixth inning, Matt Olson hit one of Atlanta's three homers and the Braves beat the San Diego Padres 5-2 Saturday.

Anderson (1-1) allowed two hits and struck out seven over 5 2/3 innings.

Padres rookie starter Nick Martinez (0-1) was stung by the long ball. Ozzie Albies hit a solo shot on his second pitch of the game, giving him a homer in all three games of this series so far.

Olson and Marcell Ozuna also connected off Martinez, charged with four runs in five innings.
