Nationals/Braves Recap September 7, 2007


Now this is the type of win the Braves needed. Smoltz absolutely dominated the Nats and the highly vaunted offense delivered.

Chipper Jones had another career game going 3 for 4 while hammering a 3 run homer and plating 3 himself. Smoltz labored with a high pitch count yet had a no-no going into the eighth inning. Peter Moylan and Rafael Soriano arrived in the eighth and ninth innings respectively and closed out the Nats.

Combine this win with the fantastic come from behind win two days ago and the Braves have a bit of momentum going into Saturday's game.
