After six innings and then two batters in the Seventh, giving up three runs on five hits while striking out four and walking one, Jo-Jo Reyes received a no-decision for his performance on Monday night. Back at Turner Field the rookie pitcher gave a solid performance that setup the win the Braves would clinch in the Tenth when Yunel Escobar hit a two-run walk-off homer. In the Ninth inning, John Smoltz came in for the save, but he was unable to record one as the Marlins rallied for two runs to tie the game. However, happy to be back at Turner Field, home sweet home for the Braves this year, the luck was with the Braves and they came through with a 7-5 victory in the close game. Jeff Francoeur and Mark Teixeira both homered and Chipper Jones went 2 for 4 boosting his average to .407.
