There isn't a whole lot of positives to take from this game as the Braves' offense could never solve Kershaw and continued to struggle against the Dodgers. While Nick Markakis went 3 for 4, Freddie Freddie struck out four times and the Dodgers use 5 extra-base hits and another tough outing from Teheran to beat the Braves 8-0.
The day began with rumors that the Braves were trying to acquire Juan Uribe from the Dodgers in a deal that involved Alberto Callaspo. While it was expected to be a somewhat minor deal, it became complicated when Callaspo initially exercise his no trade rights under the CBA, effectively torpedoing the deal.
