Notes & reviews

Braves third baseman Chipper Jones left the game due to an injured hip
Braves runner Yunel Escobar forgot how many outs there were and ran home; when he realized his mistake, he tried to return to 3B but the runner from 2B, Martin Prado, was almost at 3B; Prado was tagged between 2B and 3B
