Braves Clip Cubs 3-2 in DS Contest
The Atlanta Braves nearly wasted a strong game from starter Matt Garza, but were saved by some timely hitting in a walk-off win over the Chicago Cubs today.

Garza threw 7.0 innings of shutout ball. The win allowed Atlanta to force a 1-1 tie in the best-of-7 Divisional Series.

Freddy Sanchez was the walk-off hero for Atlanta. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Braves first baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"It's great to see the crowd jacked up," Sanchez said.

Game 3 is scheduled for Friday at Wrigley Field 1979-2005 in Chicago.
