Braves down Phils to take over first place in NL East

Baseball Betting Lines

05/31/2010 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chipper Jones hit a two-run homer and Troy Glaus added a late three-run shot, backing a solid start from Tommy Hanson and helping the Braves to their sixth consecutive win, a 9-3 decision over the Phillies.

Hanson (5-3) gave up a run and three hits in 6 2/3 innings to take the win. He also walked three and struck out two in the victory, which opened a three-game series and vaulted Atlanta over the Phillies into first place in the NL East by half a game.

The Braves had been 6 1/2 games behind on May 17, but have gone 11-2 since then. Atlanta made up the ground thanks also to the Phillies' struggles, which have mostly been offensive. The Phillies have lost seven of their last nine and been shut out five times over that stretch.
