ATLANTA (AP) – Yasiel Puig did not have too much time to go back.
& # 39; & # 39; I am so happy to be back with the team and help the team win today and do something. with the bat, & # 39; & # 39; he said. Today, I have helped to do something in the game and I feel good. I thank God for bringing me back to 100%.
Puig ran three times after returning from the casualty list. Alex Wood had 5 innings and 2/3 to win his sixth consecutive victory, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves 5-1 on Saturday night.
Restored after missing 15 games with a good forward, Puig made 1-0 with a sacrifice in the second of Max Fried and pushed the leader to 3- 0 in sixth with his 12th circuit, a dominant shot of Luke Jackson, who bounced on the facade of the third-level dashboard in the left field
Wood (7-5) granted a hit and four walks with five strikeouts. His performance followed Rich Hill 's seven rounds on Thursday and Clayton Kershaw' s was allowed in 7 2/3 innings on Friday against an Atlanta attack that led the NL. during most of the first half of the season.
Is, lost four straight and 13 out of 18 mainly because their bats were calmed. They averaged 2.2 points in their last 13 defeats and dropped to fifth in points scored. Johan Camargo explained the Atlanta attack with a home run from Caleb Ferguson in seventh position.
& # 39; & # 39; It's hard to get things moving, everything moves, everything moves, all that, "said Braves Manager Brian Snitker. & # 39; & # 39; I would like to have the magic answer to get there, but that is not the case. That's why you have to keep playing and grinding. One day he will do it.
Puig won the 143rd Dodger Circuit, leading the West Division leaders' standings.
& # 39; & # 39; He blocked bullets, ruined some good positions on a couple that he should have. "We managed but continued," said Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts. & # 39; & # 39; He had a brittle ball, and that was a big shot. It was good for him and come back in the swing of things and take a big lift for us.
Wood blocked a runner in scoring in the first and second as he improved to 6-0 with a 2.61 ERA in his last seven starts since he lost at home against Braves on June 9th.
"I really have the impression that all of our staff is almost fully assembled at the right time," said Wood. We are starting to make efforts and hope that we can continue to make such trips.
He did not have the opportunity to face Tyler Flowers with two runners in sixth. The flowers started the game with seven hits and eight runs in 11 attacks against Wood, so Roberts called on J.T. Chargois. The flowers have been eliminated.
Los Angeles led 1-0 in the second end when Enrique Hernandez scored and scored on Puig's sacrifice. Chris Taylor and Manny Machado take the lead 5-1 in the ninth at the RBI singles
Fried (1-4) allowed one run, two hits and three walks with seven strikeouts in five innings . He was reinstated from the injured list after missing 14 games with a left-middle blister
