MLB: LA Dodgers 5, Atlanta 4 (11 innings)
LOS ANGELES, (UPI) -- A.J. Ellis drove in Russell Martin with the winning run in the 11th inning Sunday, boosting the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 5-4 decision over Atlanta.
The Dodgers set up the decisive play when Martin, pinch-hitting for winning pitcher Ronald Belisario (1-0), drew a leadoff walk from Jesse Chavez (0-1). Blake DeWitt laid down a sacrifice bunt to move Martin to second and Ellis followed with a clean single through the hole, allowing Russell to score standing up and handing the Dodgers a win in the rubber match of a three-game weekend series against the Braves.
Belisario notched the victory by pitching two scoreless innings, part of six shutout frames tossed by the Los Angeles bullpen in relief of starter John Ely.
Rafael Furcal homered and James Loney drove in two runs for the Dodgers.
Martin Prado homered among his three hits and Brian McCann added a two-run homer for Atlanta.
