Braves 5-2 Winners Over Houston
Fans brought energy and enthusiasm to the Houston Astros home opener. Luis Rodas started for the home team against Doug Donaghey for the Atlanta Braves. The Astros were unable to reward the home crowd with a win. The final score was 5-2, Atlanta. Luis Rodas, though, was impressive. Ryan Washington snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits over 2.1 innings. He's now 1-0 on the season. Willie Ortiz earned the save for Atlanta, his 1st of the year.

Atlanta used a timely hit from Francisco Galdamez to get the win. The first baseman stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Braves ahead, 5-2. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"I don't lose sleep over a loss," said Galdamez. "But I have better dreams after a win."
