Jones' Homer Boosts Braves

Summary

---

ATLANTA - Barry Bonds hit a three-run shot for his 694th homer, but Chipper Jones' two-run drive helped the Braves win 5-3, their fifth victory in a row.

Jaret Wright set a career high with his 13th win. He also drove in the go-ahead run with a sixth-inning bunt. Wright, who was 12-10 with Cleveland in 1998, had not won in double figures again before emerging as a surprising strength in the Braves' rotation.
