Slugfest in Atlanta

ATLANTA (AP) - Chipper Jones had four hits, including two homers, and matched his career high with five RBIs and the Braves rallied past Milwaukee 8-7 on Sunday to prevent the Brewers from their first series sweep in Atlanta.

The Braves trailed 7-5 before scoring three runs in the eighth off Carlos Villanueva (2-4). The rally allowed Tommy Hanson to avoid a loss in his major league debut.

Brian McCann's pinch-hit double off Villanueva drove in Martin Prado. Nate McLouth added a tying double to center and scored the go-ahead run on Yunel Escobar's single to left.

The NL Central-leading Brewers had a pair of two-run homers from Ryan Braun.

Eric O'Flaherty (1-0) pitched a scoreless eighth for Atlanta. Mike Gonzalez pitched the ninth for his eighth save.

The Braves led 5-3 before Braun and Mike Cameron hit two-run homers off Hanson in a four-run sixth inning. Braun hit another two-run homer in the fourth.

Hanson, the Braves' top pitching prospect, retired the first 10 batters before fading. The right-hander gave up six hits and seven runs, six earned, in six innings.

Jones left Saturday night's game with dizziness, but returned with a season-high four hits and an intentional walk. He drove in a run with a first-inning triple.

Manny Parra gave up eight hits and five runs in 5 2-3 innings. He walked two batters and struck out four and had a run-scoring double off Hanson in the fifth.

The Brewers shut out the Braves in the first two games of the series, the second time this season Atlanta has suffered back-to-back shutout losses.

The Braves ended their streak of 22 scoreless innings in the first when Escobar hit a single and scored on Jones' triple to center. Jones' sinking liner skipped past Cameron in center field. Cameron tried to make the catch and then had to turn around and run back toward the wall.

Jones' homer gave Atlanta a 2-0 lead in the third. Notes: The Braves placed 1B Casey Kotchman on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 1, with a strained right calf.
