Final: Braves 9, Red Sox 4

ATLANTA -- The Red Sox began their most challenging road trip of the season on a sour note tonight, as Curt Schilling was knocked out of the game after only 4 1/3 innings and the Braves coasted to a 9-4 win.

Schilling had been handed a 1-0 lead in the second on a home run by Coco Crisp -- Boston's only bright spot with a 4-for-4 night, lifting his average to .247 -- but Atlanta tied the game with a run in the third, went ahead with two in the fourth, and routed Schilling on a three-run homer by Brian McCann in the fifth.

Schilling allowed 10 hits and 6 runs, with 2 walks and 0 strikeouts, in his second straight subpar outing since his near no-hitter in Oakland.

More later tonight.
