The Braves' Jace Peterson, right, follows through on a two-run double as Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes looks on during the fourth inning of Monday's game in Atlanta.

ATLANTA – Brandon Beachy lasted just four innings again in his second start back from Tommy John surgery. But it was the middle relievers who let the Dodgers down Monday night, allowing three runs in the fifth and sixth innings to turn a tie game into a 7-5 victory for the Atlanta Braves.

Beachy gave up four runs on five hits – including a two-run home run by Nick Markakis and a two-run double by Jace Peterson that landed on the left-field foul line – in four innings against his former team and left with the Dodgers trailing 4-0.
