GAME LOG
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Andres Galarraga drove in six runs and Greg
Maddux shut down Milwaukee on four hits in seven innings as the
Atlanta Braves beat the Brewers 11-2 Wednesday night.
Galarraga, Andruw Jones and Quilvio Veras all went 4-for-5 in a
methodical victory for Atlanta, which pounded out a season-high 17
hits.
|  | | Atlanta's Greg Maddux pitched seven innings Wednesday, allowing only four hits and one run. |
Galarraga had a pair of two-run doubles and a two-run single for
the Braves, who scored four runs in the ninth off Hector Ramirez as
they won for the ninth time in 11 games.
Maddux (6-1), who had just one win in his previous four starts,
struck out six while silencing a Brewers offense that scored 57
runs in its previous seven games. Milwaukee's only run against
Maddux scored on pinch-hitter Mark Sweeney's RBI single in the
fifth.
Atlanta's Chipper Jones, who sprained his right big toe Tuesday
night and was out of the lineup for the first time this season.
Keith Lockhart had a two-run homer in the ninth while playing in
his place.
Milwaukee had its three-game winning streak snapped and lost for
just the second time on a nine-game homestand that ends Thursday.
Luis Lopez had a pinch-hit solo homer in the eighth for the
Brewers.
Veras, hitting second in a reconfigured batting order, scored
four runs for the Braves.
Jimmy Haynes (5-3) struck out a season-high five for Milwaukee.
He fell behind 2-0 when Galarraga scored on Reggie Sanders'
groundout in the second and Andruw Jones singled home Veras in the
third.
Atlanta scored three runs in the fifth on four consecutive hits,
capped by Galarraga's two-run double. Jones also had an RBI single
in the inning against Haynes, who gave up eight hits and walked two
in five innings.
Galarraga's two-run, broken-bat single made it 7-1 in the
seventh off Steve Woodard, who was unofficially removed from
Milwaukee's starting rotation Wednesday after winning just one of
his previous 17 starts.
Game
notes
Atlanta RF Brian Jordan, hitting .558 in his previous 11
games, struck out four times. ... Atlanta is 9-3 at County Stadium
since the Brewers moved to the NL in 1998. The Braves called the
stadium home from 1953-65. ... Maddux got a complete-game victory
last season in his only start in Milwaukee. ... With a 30-mph wind
behind him, Galarraga hit a ball over the left-field bleachers
during batting practice. Cecil Fielder is the only player ever to
clear the bleachers during a game. ... Braves reliever Kevin
McGlinchy went on the disabled list Wednesday for the second time
this season with right shoulder soreness. Kerry Ligtenberg was
recalled from Triple-A Richmond to replace him.
