Game Notes

Braves drop the Mets again, 4-3.

Atlanta continues to be New York's nemesis, and the big inning remains Kenny Rogers undoing as the Braves take a 2-0 lead in the series. The Mets hold a 2-0 lead with hopes of reversing Atlanta's dominance, but then 2 big blows off Rogers turn things around quickly.

Rogers pitches out of trouble for 5 1/3 innings, and then walks Chipper Jones ahead of Brian Jordan's opposite field HR that ties the game. Andruw Jones follows with a single and then Eddie Perez drives a pitch into the leftfield stands before Rogers is lifted.

Kevin Millwood pitches a solid 7 1/3 innings before John Rocker and John Smoltz shut the door on the Mets.
