Tom Glavine pitched a six-hit shutout, his third of the season, to lead the Atlanta Braves to a 3-0 victory over the Dodgers Tuesday night.

Tommy Gregg led the Atlanta offense with three hits, including an RBI double in the first inning.

Glavine (6-2) gave up two walks and had no strikeouts in gaining his second win over the Dodgers this season after going 0-5 against Los Angeles last season as a rookie. He threw only 86 pitches.

The Braves added a run in the third on Dale Murphy’s RBI single to center following singles by James and Gregg. In the eighth, Andres Thomas hit a solo homer off Dodger reliever Tim Crews.
