ATLANTA, June 16 (UPI) -- Tommy Hanson allowed three hits over seven scoreless innings Wednesday, boosting the Atlanta Braves to a 6-2 decision over Tampa Bay.

Troy Glaus had a two-run single during Atlanta's three-run third and Eric Hinske added a solo homer in the sixth. The Braves took a 6-0 lead into the ninth before the Rays scored twice against Jonny Venters.
Martin Prado went 3-for-5 with an RBI and boosted his league-leading hit total to 95.
Wade Davis (5-7) suffered the loss, giving up three runs on seven hits in five innings.
