Taking 3 of 4 from the Padres?gives the Braves puts the Braves 20 games over 500 with a 69-49 record.. ?The senior citizen of the Braves Chipper Jones went 2 for 4 but they?were both homeruns.. He had a 2 run shot in the 1^st and a solo shot in the 5^th.. Do you think they might talk him out or retiring.. By the way it Chipper Jones bobble head night.. Jason Heyward also had a good night going 3 for 4 with a homer.. Kris Medlin picked up the complete game win giving up only 5 hits while striking out 6 and walking none? The Braves remain at home for a weekend series with the Dodgers.?
