Peavy (7-4), making his first start since June 4 because of a fracture rib, got off to a shaky start. He allowed a two-run homer to Dan Uggla in the second inning and two more runs in the third. But he shut down the Braves during his final three innings.

Braves starter Paul Maholm (9-9) was forced out in the fourth inning because of a sprained left wrist.
