Braves Roll to 8-1 Win Over Cubs
Atlanta pitcher Eric Knott did his part in helping his team defeat the Chicago Cubs, 8-1. The opposition could never get too much going against the left-hander. Knott picked up the win for Atlanta, going 7.2 innings. He gave up 1 run on 4 hits. He now sports a record of 5-5. Atlanta has run its win streak to 5 in a row.

Miguel Figueroa had a big 2-run double for the Braves in the bottom of the first inning. With Atlanta trailing 1-0 and the bases loaded, he got a slider from Mike V Gonzalez, who is tied for 9th in the NL with a 7.3 K/9 rate, and swatted a double to left-center. It was his 15th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Braves ahead, 2-1.

"We did more than enough to get the win," said Knott.
