Braves Sweep Reds

by @ 11:16 am. Filed under Uncategorized

In a seven-run second inning, Chipper Jones hit a three-run home run and later in the inning had a two-run single.  Jones was 3 for 6 on the day and now has a .425 batting average.  The Braves combined for 19 hits including a 4 for 6 day for Kelly Johnson and a solo homer in the 8th by Mark Kotsay to top the Reds 14-7. The Reds’ starter Bronson Arroyo was pulled from the mound after 1 1/3 innings, the shortest start of his career out of 166 starts.  Starter Tom Glavine gave up six runs on seven hits, but was pulled from the game after 4 2/3 innings, and thus was unable to earn the win. The Braves have today off before facing San Diego at Turner Field tomorrow. Rookie Jair Jurrjens (3-2) will take the mound against Chris Young (2-2) of the Padres.
