Dodd pitched three strong innings in relief of left-hander Chris Sale, who went six innings and struck out six. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Dodd was called up before Sunday\u2019s game to replace left-hander Martin Perez.

In five games at Triple-A, Munoz has not allowed an earned run, with seven strikeouts and three holds in 7.2 innings. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The 25-year-old pitched in three games for the Braves last season and had a 12.27 ERA.
