April 12, 1972. Atlanta 6, Los Angeles 0

The Dodgers' woes to begin the season continue tonight as they dropped their 6th straight to open the season, 6-4 to Atlanta.  The Braves jumped on the Dodgers from the start as Dusty Baker and Darrell Evans jumped on Bill Singer for back-to-back doubles to open the game, leading to a 3-run first inning.  But the Dodgers answered with a 3-run inning of their own with 2 walks, 2 singles and a sacrifice fly.

However, in the 3rd, Orlando Cepeda and Hank Aaron hit solo home runs to put the Braves ahead to stay, 5-3.  Each team added on another run, but Ron Reed and Adrian Devine kept the Dodgers from mounting a late threat.  Reed went 7 innings and had to pitch around 3 Brave errors and 6 walks of his own.  Devine came in the 8th and retired 6 consecutive Dodgers to seal the game.

Hank Aaron hit his league-leading 3rd home run, also the 642nd for his career, coming up on Willie Mays who is still at 646, for 2nd all time in home runs behind the legendary Babe Ruth.  If he can keep up this pace, he could conceivably be within striking distance of the record in a couple of years.

Loss to Braves Extends Los Angeles Losing Streak Atlanta Braves starter Ron Reed was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Los Angeles Dodgers, 6-4. Reed, now 2-0, was the winner. In 7 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 0, walking 6, and allowing 4 runs. Adrian Devine nailed down his 1st save. Darrell Evans dealt the Dodgers a blow in the top of the fourth. Batting with a runner on 1st and Atlanta leading 5-4, Evans hit a full count fastball for a run-scoring double. "We'll put that win in the can," said Reed, "and go after the next one." The Braves, now 5-2, have been playing some good baseball.
