Gonzalez Blasts Cubs, Braves Take Game 3, 9-6
Riding the 2-hit performance of first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, the Atlanta Braves got a road win against the Chicago Cubs, 9-6, in Game 3 of the Wild Card Series. Gonzalez belted 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice for the Braves, who now lead the best-of-7 series, 2 games to 1.

In the top of the first, Gonzalez pounced on a first pitch fastball from Carlos Martinez and hit a 3-run home run. It put Atlanta on top, 3-0.

"I felt good up there," said Gonzalez. "I saw the ball well."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Wrigley Field 1979-2005 in Chicago.
