ATLANTA -- After escaping first-inning trouble, Braves knuckleballer R.A. Dickey settled down en route to the Braves' 3-1 victory over the Brewers on Saturday afternoon at SunTrust Park.
The Braves won their fourth straight, as Dickey was masterful on the mound, retiring 18 of the final 21 batters he faced. He scattered five hits and issued one walk, striking out six batters in seven innings. He got all the run support he needed on Brandon Phillips' go-ahead two-run homer in the third inning.
Phillips went deep for the third straight game, besting Brewers starter Matt Garza, who went six innings and allowed three runs.
