"I threw a lot of strikes and I was able to locate pretty well," Hampton said. ``And the biggest thing was later in the game, using my breaking ball a little more. I relied on my fastball the first three or four innings; later on, I was able to mix in my forkball.''

Tim Drew (0-1), making his first start of the year, walked the bases loaded in the fifth, and Lopez lined a single that brought home Marcus Giles and Andruw Jones.
