Braves Score!

The Braves went 31 innings without scoring a run when Chipper Jones hit a solo home run in the fourth inning Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, they finished with five more scoreless innings as Detroit won 2-1 behind an eleven strikeout effort by Justin Verlander. The Braves scored 28 runs in their last eleven games, in which they've gone 3-8.

The Tigers win their sixth in a row, in which they've outscored their opponents 46-18. Bobby Cox (who set the ejection record today) praised the motor city squad:

The Braves already have faced Boston, Cleveland and Minnesota in interleague play, but Cox said the Tigers may be the best of all.

"Of all the teams we've faced, those guys might have the best overall team," Cox said. "They're a really solid team and I think their starting rotation will prove to be the best in their league."
