Ozzie Albies and Matt Olson each delivered two-run singles in the second inning and the visiting Atlanta Braves spoiled the season debut of left-hander Blake Snell with a 7-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.Right-hander Spencer Strider (1-0) allowed just one hit over six innings in his second start of the season as the Braves improved to 5-3 on a nine-game road trip. Atlanta arrived in Los Angeles following its first series loss of the season at Seattle.Snell (0-1) allowed five runs on six hits over three innings as he returned from lingering shoulder fatigue. He was pitching for the first time since recording four outs in Game 7 of the World Series when Los Angeles defeated the Toronto Blue Jays.Andy Pages hit a two-run home run in the ninth inning for Los Angeles to end Atlanta's shutout bid. The Dodgers dropped to 1-1 on their seven-game homestand and fell to 9-11 since April 18.The Braves got to Snell early by loading the bases three batters into the game on a walk and singles from Mauricio Dubon and Albies. They scored just one run in the inning on a ground out from Austin Riley.Atlanta loaded the bases again in the second inning, this time with two outs, before Albies and Olson delivered their back-to-back two-run singles for a 5-0 lead.Snell pitched a scoreless third inning before he departed after 77 pitches.The Braves' Michael Harris II tacked on an RBI double in the fifth against right-hander Edgardo Henriquez, and Drake Baldwin had a run-scoring single in the eighth against right-hander Paul Gervase.Strider allowed two walks with eight strikeouts as he rebounded from a rough season debut on Sunday when he gave up three runs with five walks in 3 1/3 innings. Strider missed the first month of the season with a left oblique strain.Pages' two-run home run in the ninth inning for the Dodgers, against right-hander Reynaldo Lopez, was his ninth of the season.--Field Level Media
