Braves Snag 6-4 Win
The Atlanta Braves withstood an impressive performance by St. Louis first baseman Mark Teixeira to defeat the Cardinals, 6-4, at Busch Stadium. Teixeira was 2-3 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Jared Burton picked up the save for Atlanta, his 22nd of the year. The win makes Atlanta 39-30.

Atlanta needed the clutch hitting of Chipper Jones to notch the win. The third baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Braves on top, 5-4. For the game, Jones had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We'll put that win in the can," said Jones, "and go after the next one."
