Tomahawk Take Editor’s Note: The Atlanta Braves really needed a solid performance from veteran pitcher R.A. Dickey on Thursday night and they received just that. Our bullpen is shaky and coming off the night on Wednesday, we needed Dickey to go as long as possible. The 42-year-old went eight innings, giving up four hits, two runs, no walks and had four strikeouts. He picked up his 10th win of the season. Arodys Vizcaino came in the game in the 9th inning and closed the door quickly on the Nationals. Three up and three down…all k’s!
The Braves offense had seven hits and scored three runs.
