Chipper Jones. What is there to say about what this guy is doing. His average is at .417 after two more hits today. One of those hits headed up a ninth inning rally to win 3-1 over the Diamondbacks Saturday afternoon.
Chipper led off the inning with a single off Doug Slaten, who was removed one batter later for Chad Qualls. Qualls immediately gave up a two run homer to Jeff Francoeur to end the game and send the Braves home victorious.
Randy Johnson was solid in the start for the Diamondbacks. He struck out ten over six innings and gave up just one run. The Braves had just five hits against Johnson. Jorge Campillo started for the Braves against the future Hall of Famer. He allowed no runs over four innings and gave up just two hits.
The Braves led 1-0 when the Diamondbacks tied the game after what appeared to be a blown call. Justin Upton was tagged by Omar Infante and the umpire ruled he was still on the base, but replays showed that Upton was not touching the base. Augie Ojeda stepped in and knocked Upton in with a single to tie the game.
Slaten was charged with loss. Blaine Boyer picked up his first win of the year for the Braves.
