The Braves beat the Milwaukee Brewers last night 3-1 in Atlanta, in the opener of the Braves' final home series of the season. With the victory, the Braves have a 5-game winning streak for only the third time this season, and first time since June. It was a strong starting pitching effort from Jeff Bennett, just called from the minors. In his first major league start, Bennett struck out 8 and allowed only a run in 5-and-two-thirds innings of work. Chipper Jones at the plate had 3 hits in 4 trips, pushing his season average to .342. That leads the National League, as he looks to chase down the batting title. Teammate Edgar Renteria was hitless in 3 at-bats, dropping his average to .336. The Braves with only 9 games remaining, trail the NL-East division leading Mets by 4-and-a-half games.
