Jones, Renteria help Braves end four-game skid

<h3>ATLANTA 9, CHICAGO CUBS 5</h3>ATLANTA (Ticker) -- All the Atlanta Braves needed to snap outof their funk was a visit from old teammate Jason Marquis.

Andruw Jones and Edgar Renteria each homered as Atlanta endedits four-game slide with a 9-5 victory over the Chicago Cubs inthe third game of a four-game series Saturday.

Entering the matchup, Atlanta was in the midst of a tailspin,dropping six of seven and eight of its last nine here whilebatting just .193 over the last five games. The Braves did nothave a lead in any of its last four contests.

But fortunately for Atlanta, it was facing Marquis.

The 28-year-old righthander, who played his first four seasonswith the Braves from 2000 to 2003, had been nothing short ofdisastrous against his former club, allowing 24 earned runs in15 frames in three starts. Atlanta tattooed Marquis (5-3) for12 runs and 14 hits in five innings in his last start againstthe Braves.

This one was not much different.

Although he was spotted a 4-0 lead, Marquis allowed six runs -two earned - four hits, walked three and struck out one in 1 2/3frames to fall to 0-3 with a 14.33 ERA in four starts againsthis former club.

Jones did the most damage. The 30-year-old slugger, who cameinto the game 7-for-10 with four homers and 13 RBI againstMarquis, smashed a two-run homer 425 feet over the center fieldwall in the first to cut the deficit to 4-2.

Jones also chased Marquis in the second with a run-scoringsingle to left as the Braves grabbed their first lead in 37frames, 5-4.

Renteria, who laced an RBI single in the second to snap an0-for-14 slide, smashed a two-run homer over the right fieldwall for an 8-5 edge in the fourth off rookie Sean Gallagher,who was making his major league debut. Renteria collected hisfourth RBI of the night with an RBI double in the sixth.

Chicago gave the sold-out Turner Field crowd of 51,816 a bit ofa scare in the third.

With runners at first and third, Jacque Jones smashed a grounderoff the left shin of Atlanta starter Tim Hudson, who threwwildly to home plate, allowing Derrek Lee to score to cut theedge to 6-5.

Fortunately for Atlanta, Hudson, who allowed five runs and fivehits in two-plus innings, suffered just a contusion to his leftleg. X-Rays were negative and he is listed as day-to-day.

Peter Moylan (2-1) allowed just one walk and hit a batter inthree scoreless innings of relief to pick up the win.

Mark DeRosa had three hits for the Cubs, who lost for only thesecond time in seven games.
