The Bounce
Chipper Jones was 0 for 1 with a walk, lowering his batting average to .400. He came up the second time with the bases loaded and delivered a single to plate two runs. That ended a scoreless game, and the Braves pick up another run in the inning to take a 3-0 lead. Jones is now hitting .403.
Update: Aaron Cook pinch hits for the pitcher Jimenez in the bottom of the fifth and singles.
Update: Chipper comes up in the seventh with a man on first. With two strikes, he reaches out and punches a ball into short center for a base hit. He didn't hit it hard, but elevated it enough to get the ball into the outfield. He always seems to get the two hits when he's about to fall below .400. He's up to .405 now.
