LOS ANGELES (AP) — Omar Infante drove in the tying and go-ahead runs with a single as the Atlanta Braves used a seven-run seventh inning to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-3 on Saturday night.

Brian McCann added a two-run double and Troy Glaus hit a two-run homer during the big inning for the Braves, who won for the 15th time in 18 games and maintained their two-game lead over Philadelphia in the NL East. McCann also hit a two-run single in the eighth.

Tommy Hanson (6-3) won his third straight start, allowing two runs and eight hits over six innings and striking out six. The right-hander, who allowed fewer than three runs for the ninth time in his 12 starts, was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the seventh after trailing 2-0 against Chad Billingsley (6-3).
