Braves bounce back

The Atlanta Braves recovered from Friday Night's beating at the hands of the Arizona Diamondbacks and won today's game 3-1. The Braves got a second straight, albeit short, outing from pitcher Jorge Campillo and two hits apiece from Chipper and Jeff Francoeur. Unfortunately, Campillo had to leave after four shutout innings because of a blister.

Chipper is now hitting a league leading .417 and Frenchy hit his fifth home run of the year in the bototm of the ninth to win it for the hometeam. It seems that Jeff's bat is heating up. Now if Tex's will and Smoltzie will get back, it'll be go time.
