Chipper and Chase

The Braves established an 8-0 lead early, but the Phillies fought back, falling just short 8-6. Chipper Jones goes two for four to raise his league leading batting average to .418. It continues to be a very loud .400 he's hitting as the hits were a double and a home run, raising his slugging percentage to .705.

On the other side, Chase Utley moved back into the home run lead by hitting his 14th of the season. Ryan Howard homered also, extending his hitting streak to six games.

At the time of this post, Lance Berkman has a .396 BA. If these guys keep it up it's going to be a fantastic batting title race in the NL.

It's a fickle thing though... one bad week and you undo a lot of hard work.

Brett Myers' performance -- downright ugly! He either struck guys out (he recorded 6 strikeouts in his 4 1/3 innings) or got pounded.
