Braves Stay Hot With 8-2 Win
Atlanta picked up a win at Great American Ball Park, bumping off the Cincinnati Reds, 8-2. Pitcher Eric Knott was a major reason the Braves emerged victorious. Knott got the win, improving to 8-6. He gave up 6 hits and walked 0 over 9 innings. He allowed 2 runs. The Braves, now 75-50, have won 9 in a row.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Chipper Jones? The Atlanta shortstop had a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Braves on top, 3-2. For the game, Jones had 2 doubles and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Being able to play a game for a living is one thing. Being able to play it well and contribute to a win is even better," Knott told the Atlanta Bulletin.
