Cubs Edge Braves 11-10 to Open DS
The Chicago Cubs defeated the Atlanta Braves, 11-10 in Game 1 of the Divisional Series today. A big contributor was designated hitter Chipper Jones, who went 5 for 5 with a double and 4 singles. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. The win moves Chicago into a 1-0 lead in the series.

Had Adam Dunn not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Dunn hit a 2-run double. That made the score 9-7, in favor of the Cubs.

"It wasn't a pretty victory," said Dunn, "but we got it done."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Turner Field 1997-2016 in Atlanta.
