MIAMI (AP) - Chuck James likes a little dirt on his uniform, especially if he gets dirty sliding into home plate. James held the Marlins to a run and four hits and had two hits of his own, and the Atlanta Braves beat the Florida Marlins 12-3 on Friday night.
James (7-7) went 6 2-3 innings and struck out five to win for the second time in three starts.
It was the fourth consecutive win for the Braves, after a five-game losing streak. Kelly Johnson had three singles and reached base in all five plate appearances. Jeff Francouer had four hits and an RBI.
