Braves overcome some sloppy defense in the 3rd and come from behind against the Maddogs to earn a victory in their season opener. Lankarge goes the distance to pick up the win, allowing 4 hits, 0 ER, and striking out 4. Maddogs score 2 in the 3rd with some help from the Braves defense. After a lead-off single by Hanley, the Braves commit 3 errors in a row. Lankarge managed to work out of the jam and limit the damage to only the 2 runs. Braves score one in the 6th on a Hudson RBI ground out and cap off the rally in the 7th on a Caminiti 3-run double. In the 4th, Tracy turned in a web gem with a spectacular, full-extension, diving catch at second base. Great start to the 2013 season for the Braves who manage their first opening day win in over a decade.
