out-hit Toronto 13 to 8.  
 
The victory went to A.J. Burnett(3-1) who went 8 and 2/3 innings, allowing 5

Casey Blake left the yard and had 5 RBI and Ricky Nolasco allowed 3 hits while
blanking Colorado as the Atlanta Prohibitioners ballclub embarrassed the
Colorado Scrub NL 2 by the count of 13 to 0.
 
Blake had a big day at the plate.  He doubled bringing in two baserunners in
the 3rd inning and belted a three-run homer (his 1st of the season) in the
4th inning.  Atlanta had 16 hits for the afternoon.  
 
Nolasco(3-0) went the distance for the shutout. Cha Seung Baek(0-2) was
charged with the loss.  He was knocked around, surrendering 7 runs in 2 and
2/3 innings.  
 
'Nolasco was the man today,' Bobby Cox said.  'He had just about every pitch
working.'

2 walks in 8 and 1/3 innings.  Oakland out-hit Boston for the game, 9 hits to
6.  
 
Tony Pena got the save, his 1st.  Jon Lester(0-4) took the loss.  Terry

generate runs if you can't make contact with the ball.'
