How the game was won: Andrelton Simmons scored on a two-out wild pitch in the eighth inning to snap a 1-1 tie and send the Braves toward a 3-2 win against the Dodgers that ended their seven-game losing streak at Dodger Stadium, including two losses in the 2013 division series. Nick Markakis added an RBI double in the eighth inning, and Alex Wood (3-2) got the win with seven strong innings (7 hits, 1 run, 2 walks, 6 strikeouts) in his first start in 12 days.
Number: 2. Home runs for the Braves in their past 14 games, after Cameron Maybin hit one in the third inning Wednesday. It was the fifth of the season in his 132nd plate appearance for Maybin, who had a career-high nine homers in 568 plate appearances in 2011 for the Padres.
What's next: The Braves continue their 10-game trip Thursday at San Francisco with the opener of a four-game series against the Giants, with Atlanta ace Shelby Miller (5-1, 1.50 ERA) facing Giants right-hander Chris Heston (4-3, 4.33).
