Salmon dominant in Game 2 victory

The "other" half of the newly acquired dynamic duo, Dwight Salmon, was utterly dominant in game 2 against Atlanta, leading the Traffic to a 3-0 victory. Salmon pitched 8 shutout innings, allowing only one hit (a leadoff bloop single in the 2nd to Ryan Snyder) and one walk to Albie Torres (to lead off the 4th). He retired the last 13 hitters he faced. In addition to pitching a masterpiece, he also drove in 2 of the 3 Trenton runs with 2-out RBI singles in the 2nd and in the 4th. Magglio Perez added a solo homer to lead off the ninth to provide the final margin of victory. The Traffic are now one win away from their first playoff series win ever.
