The slam by Pedroia -- the third in his career -- came in the second and made it a 6-1 game. Pedroia's second homer, a solo shot over the Green Monster, was in the eighth and one pitch after A.J. Pierzynski and third baseman Daniel Castro watched a foul pop fall between them.
Braves starter Bud Norris lasted just 1 1/3 innings, getting belted for seven hits and six runs. Freddie Freeman led a mostly quiet Atlanta offense with two hits, including a solo shot to right that snapped a 15-game homerless streak for the Braves.
