Jones' walk-off helps Braves keep pace with Mets

<h3>ATLANTA 5, SAN FRANCISCO 4</h3>By Phil Foley
PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer


<div class="pre">ATLANTA (Ticker) -- Bobby Cox got tossed but Chipper Jones</div>helped put him in a better mood.


Jones hit a walk-off RBI double in the ninth inning to help theAtlanta Braves to a 5-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants onTuesday.


Willie Harris drew a leadoff walk from Steve Kline (0-2) andKelly Johnson reached on a bunt single, bringing Jones to theplate and chasing Kline.


Jones laced a double to left field off Randy Messenger, scoringHarris and helping the Braves win a game in which Cox broke theall-time ejections mark.


Cox was ejected for the 132nd time in the fifth inning afterarguing balls and strikes on a called third strike on Jones,helping him pass longtime New York Giants manager John McGraw onthe all-time list.


Rookie Yunel Escobar had a career-high four hits, including agame-tying two-run double in the sixth for Atlanta, which openeda six-game homestand, remained 3 1/2 games behind the New YorkMets for first place in the National League East.


Bob Wickman (3-2)picked up the win after blowing a 4-3 lead inthe ninth. Wickman had been outstanding at home, converting allnine save opportunities without allowing an earned run.

The burly righthander entered with a 4-3 lead and got the firstout before Dan Ortmeier hit a 3-1 fastball to right-center.Dave Roberts reached on an infield single and stole second, andRay Durham drew an intentional walk before Randy Winn plated thetying run with a groundout to second.


Atlanta took a 4-3 lead with a four-run sixth. With the Bravestrailing, 3-0, in the sixth, newly acquired Mark Teixeirasmashed his fifth homer as a Brave and 18th this season over thecenter field wall.


Brian McCann singled and Andruw Jones drew a one-out walk tochase Jack Taschner.


Escobar then laced a double into the right-center field gap,plating McCann and Jones to tie the game at 3-3. Matt Diazbroke the tie by smashing Scott Atchison's next pitch toright-center field, scoring Escobar.


Meanwhile, Barry Bonds, who hit his first major league homeracross the street in old Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, returnedto Atlanta for the first time since besting the mark of formerBrave Hank Aaron. A tribute to Bonds from Aaron was shown onthe video board prior to the game to a smattering of boos andcheers.


Atlanta starter John Smoltz, who is one of five major leaguerhurlers to surrender eight homers to the all-time home run king,wanted no piece of Bonds in this one.


The 43-year-old Bonds opened -the scoring in the first bydrawing a five-pitch walk. He advanced to third on BengieMolina's double and scored on a single by Pedro Feliz for a 1-0lead.


Bonds was walked intentionally in the third after Smoltz issueda two-out double to Winn. Former Brave Ryan Klesko plated Winnand Bonds with a double to give the Giants a 3-0 lead.

Smoltz allowed three runs and six hits in six innings to remainwinless since June 23.


Making his first start since 2005, Kevin Correia scattered fourhits in 4 1/3 frames for the Giants, who have dropped seven oftheir last nine games.
