Chipper Jones' 399



Much is being made (and rightfully so) about Ken Griffrey, Jr.'s impending 600th homerun, but a little slugger in Atlanta is working toward a milestone of his own. With his three run homer last night, Chipper Jones stands just one homerun away from 400. Greg Norton played hero with a two run double that scored Chipper Jones and Mark Teixeira and rallied the Braves passed the Marlins, 5-4. Norton defininately had an interesting night out in left almost losing a ball in the lights, but with Matt Diaz and Mark Kotsay on the DL, Norton will have more opportunities to work on his outfield skills. The win improves the Braves to 24-7 at the Ted this season and 3-16 in one run games as they move onto Wednesday's day game against the Marlins. Tom Glavine will take the mound against Mark Hendrickson.

It's been fun blogging with you,
Kate
