Chipper Jones has joked in the past that the baseball gods were getting some overdue revenge against the Braves all at once for their unparalleled 14 years of postseason success. 

--The Braves must have left their bats back in Atlanta on Monday -- Dodgers RHP Hiroki Kuroda stymied Atlanta's offense by surrendering just one hit in a complete-game shutout. 

Hiroki Kuroda took a perfect game into the eighth inning and settled for a one-hitter, leading Los Angeles to a 3-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Monday night.

The Atlanta Braves will place utility man Omar Infante and relievers Jeff Bennett and Manny Acosta on the disabled list before their game at Los Angeles on Monday. 

The Brewers turned prospects into ace C. 

The Atlanta Braves know they'll have to get their offense going if they hope to start clawing their way back up the NL East standings.
