Dickey's dancing knuckler on display in Braves' new digs

ATLANTA -- The Braves hope that R.A. Dickey's knuckleball will be dancing like it did in his debut when Atlanta plays its second game at SunTrust Park against the San Diego Padres on Saturday night.

The key to a victory might be behind the plate, where catcher Kurt Suzuki gets the challenge of holding onto Dickey's offerings, and Braves fielders making plays behind the 42-year-old former Cy Young Award winner.

Third baseman Adonis Garcia made a pair of errors in a 6-4 loss at Pittsburgh a week ago and Suzuki had three passed balls, the miscues leading to three unearned runs against Dickey.
